Happy World Mental Health Day!

It’s World Mental Health Day and boy do we have some treats for you! The theme for #WMHD this year is all about young people and mental health in a changing world. Throughout today, we’re going to be posting some interesting facts about teenagers from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and we’ve got a great article where we interview some members of the SelfharmUK team about when they were teenagers and how mental health has changed. For now though, we hope you enjoy these rather amusing images of some staff here at Youthscape of when they were teenagers 😂😳

ALUMINA

Alumina is a free, online 7 week course for young people struggling with self-harm. Each course has up to 8 young people, all accessing the sessions from their own phones, tablets or laptops across the UK. The courses take place on different evenings of the week and are run by friendly, trained counsellors and volunteer youth workers. You don’t need an adult to refer you or sign you up, and no-one will see or hear you during the sessions – you’ll just join in via the chatbox. We want to help you to find your next steps towards recovery, wherever you are on your journey.
