Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and we want to change the narrative on suicide by encouraging honest conversation and creating a culture of understanding and support. 🧡
If you or someone you know needs support, please check out @Samirtans, @GiveUsAShout & @PAPYRUS_Charity
The best employability advice for students starting uni, “focus on the opportunities over a specific goal – internships, research, modularity in your degree, and so on.” I’d add get a part time job on campus,this will help you meet other students and feel like you belong.
“Peers matter at all ages, of course, but there’s something about peers in adolescence that takes on increased importance and plays a role in decision making and risk taking, and all sorts of other things that adolescents do.”
Schools are ‘missing a trick’ by not using more peer-led programmes because of ‘what we know about adolescents’ propensity to influence each other to make good decisions’, says neuroscientist @sjblakemore

🔸Brilliant initiative by @seftoncouncil@salttarbootle & @teenage_market - this weekend #Bootle
🔸Giving young people (aged 10 to 25) a free platform to showcase their talents, develop business skills, and.. earn cash!
🔸Creativity is back on the agenda under @UKLabour
The way forward, is together.
"It involves valuing all staff and, in particular, recognising the value of practitioners and professional services colleagues working alongside academic staff on the design and delivery of modules".

“Giving students a tangible problem that they investigate, using their research methods training, means that students are more motivated to attend, support peers, and develop their ideas.” Love this ❤️
Kicking off our Emerging Leaders Celebration with a super interesting reflective leadership chat with the lovely @jooles74 Director of Careers and Employability at BCU.
Just arriving in Birmingham for the @gradconsult Emerging Leaders Celebration Event and the sun is shining! Looking forward to a fun filled day with our latest fabulous cohort. 🤩☀️🍾
Love the sentiment of this session, advocating for giving more responsibility to early talent. There are multiple benefits of removing the hierarchy between leaders and junior colleagues; from different perspectives, to harnessing enthusiasm and fresh energy.
Super happy to be at the ISE conference in Birmingham today. Starting the day with a fantastically, engaging keynote from @elinder on the importance of valuing skills in young people over experience. Whole heartedly agree ❤️ #ISERec24
Lots of talk at #AGCASac24 re the importance of measuring the impact of what we do in the current climate.
Did you know that @Gradconsult has OccPsycs and research professionals who can externally validate the impact of your service and projects?
