Reasonable adjustments at work don’t give those of us living with mental illness an advantage.
They level the playing field.
We unpack the challenges of dealing with trauma.
We also dive into the importance of acknowledging and working through challenging emotions.
Cedric opens up about his personal journey, including the emotional challenges he faced growing up in France. And how they’ve shaped his perspective today.

📢 We're disappointed to hear that the share of NHS spending dedicated to mental health has declined - and at a time when levels of need have been rising.

Happy News Did you know? As we move towards spring, we’re gaining around 3.5 minutes of daylight every day! That’s nearly 25 extra minutes of sunshine each week. We’re getting there!
For some of us, dark mornings and evenings can make us feel really low. The cold, wet, and windy weather can also impact our mood ☔️
️
The good news is that we're heading towards Spring. And we’re gaining an average of 3.5 minutes of daylight per day🌞

Great mapping of the challenges faced by children across the country - a key tool.
A quick reminder that you don't have to "tough it out" alone. Talking about your struggles isn't a weakness, but a strength.

We are talking about what financial wellbeing is, and what practical steps we can all take to improve our finances.
We also talk about:
💰 some gender stereotypes around money
🔎 explore various cultural perspectives on finances
🤑 unpack why might be helpful to talk about money colleagues
Without a doubt, debt can also put pressure on people's mental health.
With that in mind, I invited Arlyne Chinyanganya to join me on @mentalitypodcast.bsky.social to talk about achieving financial wellbeing, just after what was undoubtedly an expensive Christmas period for some of us.
Here's the detail:
The National Debtline received 57% more calls in the first two weeks of January compared with the same period last year.
The first Monday of the new year was its "busiest ever", according to the Money Advice Trust, which runs the line.
