In support of , today we're talking about men's mental health. ♂️

Too many men struggle with their mental health in silence. Even when something feels off, it can be easy to feel like you have to just keep going. Reaching out for support can be hard, but it is not a weakness, it is a sign of strength. If you're finding things difficult, and feel like something isn't quite right, make sure to get the help you need. Don't be afraid to speak out! 🗣️

If you require mental health support, chat with your local GP, or use the following link to find further resources ➡️ https://orlo.uk/YSB6u

This week is !

It has never been easier to get tested for hepatitis C in England. NHS England has a free and easy-to-use testing portal that anyone over 18 can use, to order a test directly to their home.

Watch the video where Danny, Head of Inclusion and Chair of the NHS Addictions Provider Alliance, shows us how easy it is to take a test.

This , we're continuing to celebrate by highlighting some of the wonderful stories we've received about our fantastic Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners! 🎉

"Deborah from STARS in Telford is an absolute credit to her profession. Debbie listened to my story without judgement and wrote in depth notes, she showed nothing but empathy towards me and understanding. Debbie has given me solid advice regarding current relationships, thought patterns and practicing changing how my emotions affect my behaviour - session by session she really got a grasp of what I’m about."

It goes without saying: all the hard work Debbie, and all our wonderful MHWP's do here at Telford STaRS, doesn't go unnoticed! ⭐

As we continue to celebrate today, we are shining a light on Debbie – our Telford STaRS Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner. 🌟

Debbie has shared her experiences in the role, how she works and how her role has embedded itself within the service.

🗨️ "I engage closely with the community, facilitating my emotional regulation group on a monthly basis at charity-led organisation that supports individuals impacted by drug and alcohol use."

It is clear from the experiences shared on Care Opinion by those who access our service, how valuable they find the mental health support:

🗨️ "After numerous sessions Deb gave me some tools to work with and along with hard work and her dedication as a professional, I’ve grown so much since. She was always available to me if needed. I don’t recognise myself from the start of the process to leaving them. I’ll be sad to longer be working with Deb as she’s just brilliant!"

Today, we are sharing this quote about the amazing progress being made by someone who has accessed our service. Thank you for sharing with us on Care Opinion

🗨️ “I am so thankful they helped me as I was on a downward spiral and happy to leave the way I was behind. I couldn't have done it alone. I would have just carried on but I now have too much respect for myself and those around me. I’ll never go back to drinking in the same way.”
