Some great words to reflect on here 👍
You can't change things outside of your control, but you can change your attitude. "You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” #BeTheDistance #BeConnected

Here's a new article that @MMikulewicz and I wrote discussing the invisible injustice of #mentalhealth & #ClimateChange. Find it here 👀 thelancet.com/journals/lanpl…
Spending as little as 2 hrs per week in green spaces can benefit your health & quality of life. Plus, the economic impact of areas like national parks on peoples’ mental health is $6 trillion per year worldwide 🏞️
It's #InternationalStressAwarenessWeek this week. #Stress is a significant factor in many mental health problems like anxiety and depression, and is linked to a raft of physical health issues like heart disease, immune system dysfunction, insomnia, and digestive issues👩⚕️
What can you do this week? #Talk about stress and it's effects, let's start reducing the stigma; #Share how you cope with stress; #bekindtooneanother, treat others with compassion and empathy; and look after yourself, take time out to #relax, eat well, exercise! 🧘♂️ @StressMgtSoc

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay2019; perfect excuse to enjoy a #mentalhealth pamper sesh! Engaging in relaxing activities is great for mental health, just like exercise is good for physical health. Why not see how many mental-healthy things you can do to #treatyourself today🧘♂️
This week marks #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek. An estimated 450 millions people worldwide are living with #mentalhealth issues, and #ClimateChange looks likely to increase these numbers dramatically.
This week is #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek. In 2011, just over 230,000 people reported having a mental health condition. The oldest age group saw the highest proportion, with 10.2% of people aged 85 and over having a mental health condition. More here: ow.ly/pOo230m5ULI
Today's World Forum on #ClimateJustice2019 sees the launch of this network! If you're here in person, do come and say hi to @harriet_ingle who runs this network & to find out more about how to get involved!
The world's 1st World Forum on #ClimateJustice2019 starts a week today. There are sessions on many dimensions of #ClimateJustice, including #MentalHealth. It features a live & interactive mural, a novel way to communicate tough messages. You can get involved, too! See below 👇
Our artists are taking inspiration for the visionary mural that they'll be creating at the World Forum on #ClimateJustice2019 from all of you, so please get tweeting (& use the hashtag 👈) and show us what #ClimateJustice means to you. Here are some of my ideas...
The World Forum on #ClimateJustice2019 is also where we will be officially launching this network, so stay tuned for more updates.
New terms are emerging all the time to describe some of the #mentalhealth impacts of #climatechange. These include #ecophobia, #ecoanxiety, and #solastalgia, as well as #compassionfatigue, #recoveryfatigue and #pretraumaticstressdisorder. Are there others to add to the list? 🗒️
This is a brand new network for anyone interested in #climatechange and it's effect on #mentalhealth: from #ecoanxiety to #solastalgia and everything in between. Details on how to join the mailing list will be available soon... watch this space! 👀
