We live in the sixth richest country in the world - the growing number of people without a home to call their own is a mark of national shame.

Young people accessing our services often experience suicidal thoughts, have made attempts or have self harmed

[Off-Centre at Family Action @OffCentreUK]

The rise in self harm in our service users reflects the national increase that was reported in the BBC recently

Interesting article about how art therapy can help support female victims of abuse. We often get young people coming to our service seeking support for abuse, including domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, emotional and psychological abuse.

Mental health problems & debt can become a vicious circle leading to crisis. Could a "breathing space" policy be the answer? https://t.co/kAqLCpmxon

So many of our YP are fighting invisible battles - we're in awe of their inner strength. #inspiration #youngpeople #mentalhealth

It can be really tough opening up to others when we suffer from mental ill health. It’s even harder when our bravery is met with bad reactions from others. Why not have a read of this Blurt blog to find out how to cope with this situation? https://t.co/mFJ9b6LWoO @BlurtAlerts
