Loneliness can affect anyone of any age. You may be socially isolated or may feel lonely even though you're surrounded by lots of people. Whatever the cause, loneliness is normal & nothing to be ashamed of. If you need to talk, we're always here 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

How many #microplastics do you think can be released per day by a single #facemask in the #ocean? A study in Environmental Advances suggests it could be as many as 173,000. Every. Single. Day. 😱 What can you do? Dispose of masks in mixed waste & join a community litter pick 💪
