This announcement is causing quite a stir. On a #FunctionalSkills teachers forum there was a lot of talk about providers having to close as all their provision only caters for 19+ apprenticeships and the worries about redundancy for those individuals #HiddenCosts

Gentle ways to start important conversations on #MentalHealthMatters
#UKFE #AmplifyFE
mind.org.uk Mind @mind.org.uk · Feb 6
Sometimes we worry about the mental health of friends and loved ones, but we don’t want to tell them we’re worried.

Thanks to Murphys Sketches for the beautiful illustration showing there are lots of ways to begin that conversation. And what better time to start than today, #TimeToTalkDay
An illustration. At the top it says "Time to talk. Ways to ask 'Are you okay?' (without asking 'are you okay?')" Beneath are the words and illustrations. "Do you fancy a brew?" – two coffee cups. "Shall we go for a walk?" – a drawing of the sun. "Let's have a good natter." – a phone. "I'm in no rush." – an alarm clock. "Can I help you with anything?" – a washing line with baby clothes. "I was just thinking about you!" – bluey-white clouds. At the bottom it is tagged Murphys Sketches
