Christmas can be a difficult time if you’re suffering from low mental health, especially as it marks the end of a grim 2020. Mental Monday will be live to bring you company throughout the festive period and you can see the full schedule below.
Hello, editing Jake here. This event is now over but you can watch the replays and see how it went on the roundup page.
I’ve finalised the Christmas Schedule for Mental Monday and can announce it below.
All these videos will be available on YouTube here, and you’ll be able to watch the repeat if you can’t make it live.
It’s such a privilege to have a voice and a platform where I can open up the conversation about mental health. These Christmas episodes are a chance to continue the conversation, and to have a catch-up and check in with our mental health.
Christmas can be a difficult time, especially this year. Maybe there are arguments over what families you ‘bubble up’ with or maybe you don’t see anyone at all.
Whatever your situation I want Mental Monday to be a place where you can drop in, even for 5 minutes and have that interaction, and be part of that conversation. And it also gives me a chance to talk about how I’m feeling, to show the mental health conversation isn’t something to shy away from.
Below I’ve broken down the different Mental Monday episodes that will take place over Christmas and a rough guide to what they’ll be about.
This is an unscripted conversation, so below are my ideas of what I want to talk about but of course, we’ll pick up what’s going on in the world, any mental health news, and developments in my personal life. You get to control the conversation in chat so do get in touch.
If you have any feedback email me [email protected] or tweet me @jakeswrites.
To start the week they’ll be a bonus episode of Mental Monday. Coming up:
And there you have it. This is just my basic outline (so I’ve got something to talk about) but all these discussions are unscripted and we’ll have an open conversation in the moment.
Being able to speak like this about mental health helps me process and get through what’s going on. I’d love for you to drop in and be part of that conversation too and get involved and let me know your thoughts.
