These record-breaking stats should be a major cause for concern for our Government. More than 500 young people a day referred to NHS services for anxiety. We need big changes to make this better and we need them now. Let’s start with early mental health support. The Government need to keep their promise to put early support hubs in every community, so young people can get support as soon as they need it. Beyond that, we need our leaders to take an urgent look at the things that are shaping young people's experiences – discrimination, the education system, the cost of living. Change is possible, and we know that things can get better - for every young person across the country. Source 📰: NHS data via The Guardian

Something every young person should know this #GCSEresults day

Every young person who has experienced trauma should see this message from Katie. After being diagnosed with PTSD, Katie had a hard time accepting that her anxiety was rooted in trauma from her early teenage years. She wants you to remember that nobody’s trauma is more or less valid than anyone else’s. This is her story. “I might have a diagnosis of PTSD, but I wasn’t the victim of a violent crime. I never went to war. I haven’t been involved in a traumatic accident. Instead, I simply went to school. For years I invalidated my own pain, convinced that what I had been subjected to wasn’t “bad enough” to warrant this response and that my illness was somehow less real or valid because other people had what I deemed to be more “significant” trauma. I felt almost ashamed of my diagnosis at first, but over time I came to realise that my trauma and experiences are valid.”
