This World Mental Health Day, we're taking advice from an unlikely expert. 🐶

When someone is struggling with their mental health, the first step can be as simple as listening.

At Advocacy Focus, we believe people should be listened to, taken seriously and involved in decisions about their lives.

So this World Mental Health Day, let’s all remember to .

Because listening can be the start of making a real difference to someone’s life. 💚

🌳 Today, our team headed out to Jumbles Country Park in Bolton for our monthly wellbeing walk!

As part of National Work Life Week, we’re taking the opportunity to focus on the importance of wellbeing at work and making time to step away from our screens, get some fresh air, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and spend time together as a team.

Sometimes, a little time outdoors is just what we need!

Do you have a favourite walking spot we should try next? Let us know in the comments! 👇
