As the challenges faced by families continue to grow, so does the demand for our support services. The current cost of living crisis has placed significant strain on many families we assist, exacerbating issues such as isolation, mental health concerns, and difficulties in managing children's behaviour. Coupled with existing challenges like housing instability and family conflicts, our parents and caregivers require increasingly comprehensive support. Our organisation plays a vital role in providing assistance during these trying times, offering essential help to navigate these complex situations. Helping to give children the best possible start in life, this ethos of support and early intervention underpins everything we do.

The number of children in #mentalhealthcrisis is at record high in England. 📈 Urgent referrals for under 18s to mental health crisis teams have tripled since May 2019. 🤯 This year, more than 3,500 urgent referrals were made in May.* This is why we exist.👏 This is the reality.👏 We have no time to waste. 🧠 50% mental health issues can be diagnosed before the age of 14. The Kids Network supports children at a crucial time in their lives, in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school. Our programme has a proven impact with 93% of children reporting an increase in their wellbeing.☀️ This is the #impact we want to continue making so our community of #LittleLondoners can thrive. So we need more volunteers to step up and take action with us to support our next generation. Connect to create change here: https://lnkd.in/e_CFFyij 💻 *Reports The Guardian:

#worldmentalhealthday2023 Established to raise awareness of mental health issues, increase education on the topic and attempt to eliminate the stigma attached, in the hope of encouraging sufferers to seek out help and support. There are many organisations that help people and organisations do just that. Mental Health Organisation UK has been the UK’s leading charity for everyone’s mental health since 1947. (Thank you for providing this artwork that reminds us of this important mission). They have many helpful resources: https://lnkd.in/e-kZ2RKb Just as with physical health, we all have mental health – and it’s vital to take care of both. Encouraging open conversations and raising awareness of support that is available is a great step in the workplace and beyond.   # #awareness #education #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

Mind is a fantastic resource for anyone looking for help with anything to do with mental health. It has information on the different types of mental health people might encounter, as well as a section on legal rights which would also be useful for HR Professionals. There are sections specifically for young people, plus lots of information about where to get support 👇 #CIPD #CIPDMidScotland #MentalHealthAwareness #Mind

Empowering Minds: Fostering Community Support and Breaking Barriers for Better Mental Health! 🌟 Our mission is simple but profound: providing psychosocial support. The Neighbourhood House has been our haven, offering a safe space for diverse meetings, including a children's club. 💬 We've discussed everything from war anxieties to parent-teen communication hurdles. Let's join hands to create a stronger support network! #CommunitySupport #MentalHealthMatters 🌈 Our sessions create a mosaic of emotions, addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, and more. Many beneficiaries have faced the harsh realities of war, leading to anxiety and distress. It's heartening to see individuals stepping up to seek the emotional guidance they deserve. #Empathy #EmotionalSupport 🚀 We're spreading our wings beyond the office, offering consultations during voucher distribution and support points. Together, we're emphasizing the importance of psychological well-being, especially for those who have migrated from Ukraine. Let's break down barriers and make sure everyone gets the care they need! #Outreach #WellbeingMatters 💖 The heart of our work lies in personalized care and community bonding. Our combination of individual and group sessions fosters belonging and support. Let's stand together in our commitment to breaking barriers and ensuring everyone has access to essential psychological services. #Inclusivity #CommunityBonding It is possible thanks to project financed by American Red Cross with a cooperation with amazing Mercy Corps

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as the month draws to a close, we want to remind you that sponsoring a We See You Awareness Box is a wonderful way to support your local emergency responders and their mental health. You can sponsor a department of your choice for $125, purchase one for your business to show responders that you support and value their health for $75, or even get an affordable residential box for $35 to show your personal support. Funds from these boxes go directly towards placing crucial resources in the hands of our responders when they need them the most. Our emergency responders show up in times of crisis, often facing the worst moments of our lives. While we carry just one of those experiences, they carry the weight of every call they have ever been on. Dear Emergency Responder, what you carry is heavy, and We SEE You! These boxes are our way to let you know that we see you and are here to help. Support this vital cause and make a difference today! For more information or to purchase a box, visit qrufundraiser.org. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #PTSD #PTSDAwareness #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthResources #QRUNonprofitOrganization #helpingthosewhoanswerthecall #firstresponders #emergencyresponders #ruralresponders #localheroes
