Toaster

To celebrate and commemorate Mental Health Week in the UK and Mental Health Month in the US, we asked our Toastees to share a moodboard that captures the spirit of what keeps them smiling and at ease. 🤗

From pets, family, friends and loved ones to nature, sport, hobbies and a cup of coffee, it was lovely to see what makes our Toastees tick. Swipe to see the lovely moodboards that came through. 👈

This year’s is about loneliness, and now WFH is as good as here to stay, it’s more important than ever for our friends and colleagues to feel supported. Here’s some tips that we’ve found helpful this week.

“Acknowledging we’ve all been there is a start and by coming together we can tackle loneliness.”


-

“Telling someone how you’re feeling can really help and help pave the way for new connections. Do you have a colleague or line manager you can reach out to?”


-

“Be kind, start with empathy - you have no idea what anyone is going through. The best ‘fake it till you make it’ humans could be hiding the worst of issues.”


-

“Offer reassurance that you are there to listen. Try not to multitask, it’s important to convey that you are dedicating your full attention to the conversation.”
