Youth Mental Health Day, 19th September
The internet and social media can impact youth mental health significantly. It’s important to keep an eye on your children’s social media usage and mental health, offering them ways in which they can improve their mental health, such as going for a walk or spending time with friends and family. It’s important to let your children know that they can speak to you, and ask you for advice.

If you’re a teenager struggling with your mental health and you don’t know what to do about it, there are plenty of places where you can go for help. Your school will have a mental health advisor who can help you, your family and friends can listen and understand, or you could ask your parents to book you a doctor’s appointment if you’re not able to book one yourself. You can try and help your mental health at home, by doing things that you enjoy, and taking time to reflect on where these feelings are coming from and how you can help yourself. The Mind website has plenty of information about who you can talk to or how you can help your mental health.
