Thrive LDN update
May 2020
Thrive LDN Wellbeing Cards
We have been working with London Councils to develop hardcopy public mental health and wellbeing resources for vulnerable people with no or limited access to digital support. From this, we have developed a Thrive LDN wellbeing card pack – a small collection of six cards of tips and advice collated together.
This week, 96,000 card packs were printed and are being distributed to borough shielding/food hubs for onward distribution in support parcels to residents. We are also working with voluntary and community sector organisations so they are aware and can also make use of the packs.
Sharing the messages online
We know that the messaging is useful for people who are online too. So as part of our Mental Health Awareness Week plans, we are asking Champions and partners to share digital content on channels to help amplify the messages. To support this, we have developed short videos that can be used on social media to present the tips and advice used in the packs with some further signposting to digital resources.
We have created a social media toolkit that people can use here – alongside other things to share on social media next week. Alternatively, keep your eye out on the Thrive LDN social media channels on Monday to reshare our content.
