"45% of young people in foster care have a diagnosable mental health disorder. Which is only worsened at the age of leaving care, 18, where most support ceases to exist in their entirety”

“Care Leavers are 5 times more likely to attempt suicide in adulthood.(1) Pair this up with Suicide being the biggest killer in men under 40. This is a dangerous combination.”

Despite the weather man's "Doom and Gloom" prophecy for the Bank Holiday weekend The Society was pleased to support our friends at Hembury Fort House. A location with such strong links to the Queen's Rangers it seemed only fit to don the green. Our thanks to Matthew and Caroline.

These record-breaking figures should sound the alarm. They are indicative of a system that is broken and a Government that has refused to listen to young people demanding change. The Government must get a grip on the scale of this crisis.

@fellows_jo @OsborneClarke Brilliant news!! Apprenticeships can be such a brilliant option! University, while good, isn’t the only route anymore and always important to highlight that it is possible to pursue a career without crazy student debt!

Thought i would have a nice and quiet commute to work this morning. Instead i have been sent into wild paroxysms of untempered rage at the suggestion that Jam then Cream on a scone is the Devon method. Wrong. (The devon method, cream then jam, is the correct way) @BBCRadioSolent

My enhanced DBS certificate came in the post this morning.

22 yrs later and I’m still left with a criminal record.

At 15 yrs I committed a criminal offence which has been proven to be because of exploitation.

Thousands around the UK are left with criminal records.#Sammyslaw

Happy #StarWarsDay to you all!

This sums up my entire journey through my schooling years as such an angry child.

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

Anger doesn’t usually exist in isolation. It is often fuelled by other underlying emotions like fear, hurt, shame and loneliness. Next time you feel yourself getting angry, try to identify where it is coming from. And if you feel able to, talk it through with someone you trust.
