Skydive for The Burnt Chef Project

Hello,

 

My name is Andrei and I am a hospitality professional who has dealt with mental health issues in the past and I personally want to do the best I can to try and help others in need in whichever way I can. 

 

The Burnt Chef Project was launched in May 2019 and it was setup with the sole intention of eradicating mental health stigma within hospitality.

Hospitality staff should be able to discuss the state of their mental health and gain support from their peers and employers. It's important that although mental health can't be seen it is regularly discussed and addressed accordingly.

 

On the 1st February 2021 The Burnt Chef Project launched The Burnt Chef Support Service.

A free text-based service available 24/7 to anyone involved in hospitality who wishes to talk about their mental health. The service is provided by Mental Health Innovations who operate the very successful SHOUT service. Why might someone use The Burnt Chef Support Service?

There are many reasons why people may get in touch with The Burnt Chef Support Service, and their Volunteers will provide 24/7 support and guidance, no matter what the issue.

It supports people experiencing any type of personal mental health concern. It might be that texters feel anxious or stressed, isolated, lonely or grieving. They may be experiencing eating or body issues or substance misuse. Perhaps they have experienced bullying, depression or sadness, or have relationship worries, or self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Sexual, physical or emotional abuse or concerns about sexual identity may also be prompts for texting in.

 

 

In order for these amazing people to continue offering this free service to all of our peers it is really important that we help them in any way we can by donating as much as feeling comfortable to. This way we raise not just funs but awareness too as it is essential for all of our colleagues to have someone helping them when in need.

 

Please share this with your friends & colleagues and help me help others.
