I know a lot of people are struggling at the moment with uncertainty and reduced mental health support. So I thought a nice distraction might be to write cards or letters of support for our MH professionals. Not only might it give us an activity, but it might also help boost their morale .
That’s awesome Auror! And Lindsey, I’m sure they’re not- cards are always nice
To receive! If you didn’t want to write to your CPN or ex ward etc though but did want to use the principle as a suggestion, I’ve seen a few groups on fb like ‘postcards of kidness’ You could get involved in (and it’s a one off or as much or as little as you want). Was just an idea anyhow
You could always write one for your CPN and give it to them when you see them next, even if it isn't for a while. Or mail it to their office and see if they are able to pick it up there.
Glad you could give one to the chemist!
Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
I know that medical professionals really appreciate the cards at any time. My cousin qualified as a paramedic a few days ago but prior to that he was working as an ambulance technician. He got at least 8 thank you letters from his ambulance service because patients wrote to the ambulance service praising him. He used to post them on Facebook because he was dead chuffed. Of course this was prior to the current situation so it would be even more appreciated now. He is one of the few people who know irl that I am a SIer and was generally supportive.

such people as your cousin are worth gold. They always were, but people started to realize this only now. I always said - why do footballers receive millions while doctors only a few grands and a "thanks"? Now, what are footballers worth?
