The local mental wellbeing campaign Make Time is based on the Five Ways to Wellbeing. These are simple, everyday actions that can help us to feel good about ourselves. Make Time encourages us to think about what we currently do, that makes us feel good; and how we might fit more of the Five Ways to Wellbeing into our daily lives.

Make Time asks us to think about and act on the questions below:

• When was the last time you laughed until you cried?
• When was the last time you got up and out?
• When was the last time you noticed things around you?
• When was the last time you tried something new?
• When was the last time you made someone smile?

The Let’s Keep Talking campaign encourages people, who may be struggling with their mental health during the pandemic, to talk to someone they trust. It also asks us to reach out to people who may be vulnerable or isolated. You can download PDFs of the campaign posters from the links below.

Cheshire and Merseyside Health Care Partnership commissioned a 12 month pilot of the SHOUT Text service in June 2021. Shout provides free, 24/7, text support to anyone who’s feeling overwhelmed or is struggling to cope, children, young people and adults. You can read more about the support available from the text service on Shout’s website.

Each provider Trust across Cheshire and Merseyside is using a different keyword which people in crisis can text to Shout. This will put them in contact with a trained volunteer, who will offer crisis support. People in Warrington, Knowsley, St Helens and Halton can access the service by texting “REACH” to 85258.

You can download social media tiles to promote the crisis text service, from the links below.
