The Royal College of Psychiatrists is selling a brand new range of ‘Get well soon’ cards designed specifically for people who are unwell with mental ill health. These cards have been designed in collaboration with service users, carers, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.
The cards come in two striking and colourful designs. Inside the greeting reads:
“Thinking of you at this time. Hope things improve soon.”
Research shows that people who are unwell with mental problems receive far fewer cards or messages of support than people with physical health problems, but a College survey shows that 8 out 10 service users say that receiving a ‘Get well’ card would improve their recovery.

A terrific idea. Are these available in the U.S. ?
If not, why not just take a blank note card and write a note of encouragement?
I expect that they are only available in the U.K. Susan. You’re spot on though, there are so many lovely blank greetings cards out there, and it is a great way to show you care.
