With World Mental Health Day (10th October) just around the corner, we\u2019ve teamed up with Chasing the Stigma once again. Here\u2019s Jake Mills, (CEO and Founder of Chasing the Stigma and the creator of the Hub of Hope) with some thoughts on how Chasing the Stigma and the \u2018Hub of Hope\u2019 can help those struggling with their mental health.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jake2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6165 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Jake2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kindness can sometimes be all someone needs when they are struggling with their mental health and this year it\u2019s never been more vital. Living through a global pandemic has seen people, many who have never experienced poor mental health before, facing feelings of isolation, distress and loneliness for the first time &#8211; and often alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons we at Chasing the Stigma love working with <\/span><b>thortful<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is because it gives all of us the opportunity to reach out to those around us &#8211; through humour or a heartfelt message and remind them that they\u2019re not alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a charity, though, one thing we are often asked is what to do if you reach out and someone opens up that they\u2019re struggling. This reveals that they need more than a card and reassurance that their loved ones have their back. That they need help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our answer to that is simple. <\/span><b>Start with the Hub of Hope.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve been working hard on developing the Hub of Hope over the last year. From a simple spreadsheet way back in 2017, to being the UK\u2019s go-to mental health support app with over 1,800 services registered, it\u2019s now a gateway to recovery, for you or anyone you are worried about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as all the main national services, such as Samaritans and Crisis Text Line, it also contains thousands of local and grassroots services addressing concerns from isolation and bereavement, to anxiety and suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or someone you know needs support, please &#8211; start with the Hub of Hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hubofhope.co.uk\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6184 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/online-hub-of-hope.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"132\" height=\"43\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/hub-of-hope\/id1337090866\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6182 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apple-store-hub-of-hope.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.chasingthestigma.hubofhope\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6183 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/google-play-hub-of-hope.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not out of this pandemic yet.

Back in March, we saw people showing tolerance and kindness to the situation we were collectively facing. It became ok to say \u201cI need more time, I\u2019m finding it hard\u201d and it taught us all to be kinder.
