This Brew Monday, 17 January, Samaritans is reminding everyone to reach out for a cuppa and a catch-up with the people you care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why ‘Brew Monday’?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The third Monday in January is sometimes referred to as \u2018the most difficult day of the year\u2019 but this is a myth. At Samaritans we know there\u2019s no such thing as \u2018Blue Monday\u2019 \u2013 we all have our good days and our bad days, and those aren\u2019t for the calendar to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we say it’s time to stop this myth about Monday being ‘blue’ and instead start a conversation over a brew! \u200b<\/strong>Reach out and connect with family, friends, colleagues and loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can always make time for a cuppa and a catch-up.<\/strong> It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s a Monday morning or Saturday night, or if you\u2019re drinking green tea, black coffee or orange juice. If you\u2019re sharing a cuppa and listening, you\u2019re doing it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need to have a Brew Monday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to be a good listener<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once someone starts to share how they\u2019re feeling, it\u2019s important to listen. This could mean not offering advice, not trying to identify what they\u2019re going through with your own experiences and not trying to solve their problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
