There’s no place for hate and abuse anywhere in today’s society, inclduing online. As Helen says “enough is enough”. It won’t and should never be tolerated #BeKind
Enough is enough. Here's what we're doing to tackle hate speech on @ChronicleLive and on social media. Spewing forth abuse over digital channels and attacking others online is not acceptable, is not without consequence, and will not be tolerated. #BeKind https://t.co/JhS77jhDBC
What amazing memories we have. 4 years ago we won Community Group of the Year at the Best of South Tyneside Awards.
Incredible achievement for all of our teams over the past few years.
Our founder @Callum_STyneAB has been speaking to @heartnortheast @HeartNENews @CapNorthEast @CapitalNENews today about our Youth Mental Health guidance issued to schools prior to their phased returns and re-openings.
Keep a listen out across their news bulletins for more info.
It is fundamental that we spot the signs and provide early intervention.
I hope that our guidance will give teachers the information they need to spot the signs and support our young people” - @Callum_STyneAB

We’re passionate about young people’s mental health and for many weeks it’s without a shadow of a doubt that the recent crisis would have impacted children’s mental health. It will be common for teachers to come across a mixture of emotions including stress, anxiety and confusion
