It's World Mental Health Day - a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters.🌍💜

This year our theme is ‘overwhelm’. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed by global events and what can feel like non-stop negative news.

It’s okay to feel this way and it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you are going through.

Take time today to start a conversation with a friend about what good mental health means to you.💜

Check out and share our tips on how to support your mental health in difficult times: https://tinyurl.com/2h3fz4jw

One week to go until Restart a Heart Day!

When Claire Slater, a trainee advanced clinical practitioner at the Countess of Chester Hospital, witnessed a medical emergency while off duty recently, she didn’t hesitate. Despite being out of uniform and without equipment, she stepped in to perform CPR - helping to save a life.

She later described the experience as “like a fish out of water,” and shared how emotionally overwhelming it was to respond without her usual team or support. Claire’s story is a powerful reminder that cardiac arrests don’t just happen in hospitals - and that knowing CPR can make all the difference in whether someone feels confident to step forward and take life-saving action.

💔 In the UK, there are over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year where emergency services attempt resuscitation. Yet fewer than 1 in 10 people survive.

💓 That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for Restart a Heart Day:
📅 Tuesday 14 October
📍 Chester Cathedral Gardens
🕙 10am–2pm

Learn CPR, try a defib, and take home resources for all ages. Let’s build a community that’s confident and ready to act when every second counts.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible!
