🌍WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY💛
The Power of Positive Talk!

This World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2023, ITV’s Britain Get Talking and YoungMinds’ #HelloYellow are collaborating to help children across the country open up.

Today, we listened to a special assembly, raising awareness about mental health and driving positive change. To follow this up, we are promoting A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HOMEWORK; a conversation starter designed to help children talk about the hardest subjects on their minds, because sharing worries can help ease stress and reduce anxiety.

Essentially, the message we want children to hear is - WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY IS A GREAT EXCUSE TO HAVE A CHAT, BUT TALKING IS A TOOL WE CAN USE AT ANY TIME TO IMPROVE OUR MENTAL WELLNESS.
