We’re here for you at Everyturn.

Suicide is often a topic people choose to avoid talking about for many reasons. Sometimes we might not talk about it because it can be upsetting, sometimes we might avoid talking about it because there’s still a lot of stigma. Whatever the reason, it’s really important that we do talk about suicide in a way that raises awareness and educates. The more we talk about it, the more we can prevent it.

Feeling stressed is a common experience, especially in modern-day life! Sometimes, it might be caused by one big thing, other times it can be a mixture of smaller pressures that just keep building up over time. It might even be that there is no obvious cause, and that’s okay.  

You can access many support options if you’re struggling to cope with how you’re feeling, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or counselling.  

It’s good to know that there are also lots of things we can do to help ourselves stress less right now.

Schizophrenia is a complicated mental health condition, and can affect many aspects of your thoughts and emotions. It can look and feel different for everyone. Sadly, schizophrenia is still a very misunderstood and stigmatised mental health condition.

We all feel a bit sad, down, and deflated at times. It’s perfectly normal for our emotions to have ebbs and flows. But when these low feelings stay for longer periods of time, and are starting to impact on your daily life, this could be a sign that you might be depressed.

It's so important to us at Everyturn that our colleagues and the people we support feel safe and supported bringing their whole selves into the conversation.

One of our colleagues is kindly sharing her/their own personal experience in the form of a guest blog. We're sure that this will resonate with many people, and we hope that by sharing lived-experiences like this we can help encourage supportive conversations around LGBTQIA+ communities.

We know that mental health struggles can impact anyone. In fact, 1 in 4 people in England will experience a mental health problem each year. We also know that despite the many joys and positive experiences people who identify as LGBTQIA+ will have, these communities are more likely to face challenges such as homophobia, transphobia, and stigma, as well as difficult experiences with coming out.

If you’re worried that someone in your life may be developing dementia, it’s completely normal for you to feel upset, anxious, and even scared about what this might mean. When someone you care about is experiencing a health problem, whether that be physical or mental, we know it can be tough. It might feel daunting, and you might not know how to help.

Leading a company, especially as a CEO, is a huge privilege. It does, however, come with its fair share of challenges and responsibilities. While CEOs are often perceived as confident and composed individuals at the helm of their organisations (at least that’s what I tell myself!), the reality is that many of them face the silent battle of anxiety.
