The country has been damaged due to lies and misinformation, spread by media (hence the need for media reform) but mostly by politicians and right wing pundits.

In January, myHappymind received the Transformational Impact Award at the BETT Awards. 🏆 What mattered most wasn’t the trophy – it was why they were recognised. The award celebrates real, measurable impact on inclusion, attendance and wellbeing in schools. 1/3

Mental Health Awareness Week is a great reminder, but also that it should be talked about & supported all year round 💚 If you’re struggling or know someone who is please remember support is available & you are not alone Please save or share this in case it helps someone 💚💙 #MentalHealthMatters
