Make Your Mental Health a Priori-tea!

Although our blogs are a small contribution to the world of Mental Health Awareness, it’s a contribution nonetheless. We are a small team here at BRUU, and we treat each other as family, but sharing some of our stories of our experience with our own Mental Health has brought us even closer.

We cannot put enough emphasis on the power of talking. We hope we have inspired some of you to open up, if you are struggling...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Likewise, if you have noticed someone close to you withdraw themselves, or can see them struggling, put the kettle on and ask if they want a BRUU, offer to listen.

We are a nation of tea drinkers, so go on, put the kettle on, and make a BRUU… it might help someone more than you might know.

Please see the helplines below if you need help, and if you can’t get through… just call us, we are always happy to chat!
