It’s not always easy to know what to say when someone you care about is going through a rough time. But reaching out, even with a small text, can remind them they’re not alone. Here’s a few message ideas 👇
I was just thinking about you and wondering how you're getting on?

Fact: Blue Monday was made up to sell holidays in January. We know it’s not real and that bad days can happen any day of the year. Join us in celebrating #BrewMonday today instead! Grab a cuppa and check in on someone you care about ☕
A title reading "Reach out to the friend who..." followed by 6 different shaped and coloured mugs, each labelled with a different type of friend to reach out to. They say: "You haven't heard from for a while"; "Is having a hard time"; "Always seems OK"; "Doesn't seem OK"; "You miss"; "Might need to talk".
