In Amy’s memory, we work to inspire children and young people to build their self-esteem and resilience, so they can flourish.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. From everyone here and at the @AmysFoundation we are wishing you light, love and support. You are not alone. 🖤

[Amy Winehouse Foundation @AmysFoundation]

Thanks to @FirstGiveUK for today’s charity event @SaracensHighSch that gave young people a platform to explore issues that they’re passionate about and an opportunity to support causes that are important to them. Great to also share the day with @StreetDoctors and @BarnetFoodbank

As part of Children’s Mental Health Week we visited Saints Peter and Paul Catholic High School in Widnes. It’s important for children to feel seen, heard and supported, and honest conversations in safe spaces can help protect their mental health. #childrensmentalhealthweek

We were delighted to be part of ‘Halton Youth Tackling Big Issues’ focus group today discussing issues such as #mentalhealth, #substanceuse, #bullying & self esteem. Well done to the young people of Halton - fantastic attendance and engagement with students and staff.

Thanks to @WestKirbyGS for inviting us along this week to speak with their amazing yr 12 students. Sessions included meaningful conversations about underlying issues around substance use and a focus on positive coping strategies we can use when faced with difficult times.

Great to be back @ctksouthport with yrs 9 and 10 participating in Vaping Workshops. These sessions provide knowledge and understanding of potential impacts so that pupils can make informed decisions around #vaping

Huge thanks to the amazing Yrs 7, 8 & 9 at @KL_School_UK - such engaged, thoughtful, and inspiring students. We explored important topics like self-esteem, peer pressure, the challenges young people face and coping strategies for wellbeing - and the conversations were powerful 🙏🏼

In our last post you met Matt, who is sharing his own experiences of drugs and alcohol to help young people, as part of our Resilience Programme for Schools. And this #VolunteersWeek we're celebrating him, and all who help our Foundation to do such important work. Thank you Matt!

Today, on #internationalwomensday we pay tribute to all the amazing women we work with - our beneficiaries, our staff and our volunteers, but most of all to Amy, who inspires our work every day ❤️❤️ #amywinehouse

[Amy Winehouse Foundation @AmysFoundation]

Having these conversations in safe supported spaces is key. Great interaction with students and staff @barnetsouthgate College this week 🙏🏼

[Student Services BSC @studentservbsc]

Resilience starts with conversation! 💬

It was great to welcome @AmysFoundation for inspiring talks with ESOL students at Barnet campus.

Discussions on self-esteem, social media & addiction helped empower students to make informed life choices. 💯

On Thursday last week, students in Y9-11 engaged in sessions delivered by @amysfoundation exploring substance misuse, vaping and resilience workshops.

Thanks to Jan and Ollie for sharing their experiences so openly and allowing for all questions.
