Social Media and Mental health

Social media is a huge part of our lives and as a young person struggling to find their identity, it can be a bit of a mine field! Remember you don't have to be social ALL THE TIME. Take regular breaks. Let us tell you about the days in the 1990's where you could only talk to your friends from School on msn if your dial up internet connection was working 😑 #WMHD

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.
