Our Trustees help set the path for how we want the Platfform team to be – our values of connectedness, compassion, curiosity, and bravery are how we support others, collaborate and work together.

We need to look for the things that unite us: common ground and shared experiences. People who engage with communities around them are more satisfied in life – so let’s extend that to as many people as we can.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay this is what The Wales Alliance for Mental Health & young people we work with are asking the next Welsh Government - it’s not just about the mental health system our Govt needs to end child poverty, address inequality & take a social justice approach to mental health
As part of the Wales Alliance for Mental Health, we're calling on the next Welsh government to prioritise mental health. And, working closely alongside young people, we've built a manifesto for their futures.

Over a third of us in the UK struggle with our mental health, so readily available, open-access support is essential.

Our Seibiant Sanctuary crisis support, and our Hangout drop-in for young people, are examples of this in action.

Community is a mental health intervention.

Which is why we’re exploring trauma informed community development work here at @platfform.org

The solutions to our mental health crisis are not within the NHS mental health systems gift to resolve. 💙

Part of how we find hope and healing when facing difficulties with our mental health is through having our experiences, our traumas, heard and understood.
Personality disorder diagnosis: people share real stories.
Real stories of personality disorder diagnosis. The label can hide true causes of distress; our emotions are a response to our circumstances.

The reasons suicide happens are complex, and to better understand and prevent suicide, we need to see the bigger picture. We need to understand how our society and circumstances contribute to experiences of overwhelm and distress. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
