Every young person should get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.

Our MHWB class discussed various social media platforms today, reflecting on their purposes and the regularity of engagement with each platform. I look forward to hearing how they feel specific platforms impact on their wellbeing in our next class.

If you didn’t believe in miracles before, you can now. Mr Alston decided to use some hair restorer in aid of our #lockdownlaugh for ⁦@FDAMH⁩. Great news everyone, it worked 👏👏👏. Whilst a lot of staff can’t wait for the barbers to open, Mr Alston is enjoying new locks!
