Welcome to another blog post by mental health carer from South London Matthew Mckenzie. This blog post is about involvement and spotting the signs of tokenism. Involvement grants Carers, patient and public to volunteer (paid or unpaid) their time to submit their views. Usually Carers can attend meetings with mental health staff or attend workshops, perhaps event work on a project. Most often involvement works out fine, but there will come a time when you as a carer will feel unimportant.
Hello everyone welcome to another one of my new blog posts. As a reminder, this website is there to help raise mental health awareness and also raise awareness of those who care suffering mental ill-health. This time I have decided to do a blog about books delve into the subject of mental illness.
If you wish to see the video about a hundred books about mental illness then click on the video below.
There are many ways to entertain and educate those about mental health. As you may have already known I often make videos about mental illness or about mental health carers. Plus I also do podcasts which also helps raise awareness of carers, and lastly when I get the chance I tend to write a bit about mental health and what mental health carers go through. One day perhaps I would like to write a book about what I have gone through as a carer.
A very famous writer once told me that in order to write one must meet often, so it is a good idea to check and read up on books that help describe how mental ill-health affects people. They will probably come a time when I will look into books that help describe the world of a carer.
To be honest I am not a heavy reader of books but when a book does interest me then I will skim through it, anyway for those who have watched the video feel free to track down one of the books and perhaps you could do a review of the book.

Welcome to another Blog post by a carer from South / South east London. If you can, feel free to like or subscribe to blog. My website “A Caring Mind” raises awareness on mental health and carers, mainly carers most of the time.
Well on the 2nd February, it is National Time to Talk Day. The day is dedicated to get people talking and break the silence around mental health problems.

Welcome to another one of my blog posts. This blog post is helping to raise awareness of World Suicide Prevention Day. I am not going to pull any punches, suicide can be one of the most devastating things to happen to anyone, not just the person taking the action, but also their families, especially those who are trying to care for something going through mental torment or mental health issues.
World Suicide Prevention Day happens on the 10th of September every year. It is championed by The International Association for Suicide Prevention of (IASP) and also the World Health Organization otherwise known as (WHO). IASP helps to raise awareness on the following.

Welcome to another blog post from mental health carer Matthew Mckenzie. On this blog I want to raise awareness of peer support. As you know Carers struggle to provide support and care for those suffering mental health distress. We also can have psychiatrists, care coordinators and therapists who may feel distant from those going through a difficult time.

Welcome to another blog post from carer Matthew Mckenzie. As you might have already know by now, my blog site is basically about mental health carers and how they can cope in regards to supporting those suffering mental health issues. However there will be times when I will divert away from carer topics and move onto educational topics related to mental health.

Welcome back to another blog from fellow mental health carer from South London. I thought to do another video regarding carer empowerment.
The video can be quite controversial because there will be others who feel that the NHS is trying as hard as it can to accommodate carers and their loved ones, but unfortunately this is not always the case, so it is up to mental health carers like ourselves to be empowered to speak up.

Hello Everyone, It has been a while since I have last done some blogging. I have been fairly busy, but as you might already know. I have a new podcast channel and have made some podcasts regarding carers.
I usually try and release a podcast once a week, especially on weekends. I am hoping to push this to twice a week and if I am lucky, I ll try get some interviews in and guest podcasters. As for now, my main focus is blogging and trying to compile new videos off my YouTube channel.
