There is no place at Team BSMHFT for people who choose to be prejudiced against LGBTQ+ people. ✋

As a Trust, we choose to be a No Hate Zone. This means that we all need to do whatever we can to counter discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, even when it is unintentional.

Near 1,000 colleagues have taken the pledge, are an active supporter and proudly wear their pin badge to show solidarity. We also offer active bystander and LGBTQ+ awareness training to all our colleagues.💙

Many people experience anxiety conditions but don’t seek support or recognise the symptoms in themselves. NHS Talking Therapies is here to help.

EastEnders Star, Shona McGarty, who lives with social anxiety, and former football player Clarke Carlisle, who has PTSD, have joined other patients affected by common anxiety conditions to talk about their symptoms.

💬 NHS Talking Therapies is here to help. It’s free and offers practical skills and techniques to overcome conditions like these.

Feel the Rhythm, Beat the Stigma 🎶

Prepare yourself for a summer of feel‑good music and community spirit as we champion beating mental health stigmas across Birmingham and Solihull. 🧠

One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime - it could be you, a friend, a family member or a neighbour. These community music events bring people together to talk about a topic that’s been stigmatised for too long, while having some fun along the way.💙

What to expect: over 20 family‑friendly stalls with games, charity raffles, hot food and drinks, mental health support information and more - plus live sets from local artists playing well‑known tunes to get everyone dancing!

📅 Dates & venues:
• Saturday 13 June – Mary Seacole
• Saturday 27 June – Endeavor Court
• Saturday 11 July – Maple Leaf
• Saturday 25 July – Small Heath Health Centre

Learn more and get event details on our website (link in the comments).👇

Plus… NHS staff are invited to join our brand‑new Lift Every Voice Choir — an inclusive space for joy, connection and wellbeing!

For more information about the events and the choir, please email bsmhft.communityengagement@nhs.net.

We can’t wait to see you there!
