Mental health is an integral aspect of Landscape Juice, and is something that rears its face often within the community - working alone, long days, especially during the winter is isolating and takes its toll. The network was founded on the idea of it being a platform for individuals within the industry to come together to discuss all 'taboo' aspects of the job and life as a horticulture professional. So, if this is anything, it is a reminder that this is a platform which was founded on being a safe space to unite and to discuss topics that are typically difficult to talk about, with people who can relate and can offer reassurance.
So please, use this post as a springboard to open the discussion about mental health. You may just help someone who is in need of a bit of tenderness.

Thank you for this reminder Fleur.
Time flys, it's now over twelve months since my last hospital admission & I still have dark days but being busy this year with work has helped. I just have to remember to not be 'too busy'
I hope everyone else is doing okay as well & I'm happy to talk to anyone about my mental illness or just to listen to them if needed.

A reminder for us to kind to ourselves and to others...
Great post Fleur - we've all been working through strange times and whilst takng extra precautions to keep staff and clients safe - its important not to neglect self care. Keeping in touch with like-minded people certainly helps with stress management. LJN is undoubtedly a brilliant resource for just that.
