School is important. But it isn't worth sacrificing your mental health for. Your mental health always comes first, and you are worthy, regardless of your grades.

A reminder for the new school year. From Laura, 17.

Just reading a paper where 'suicidal ideation' is described within 'suicidal behaviours'

Worth noting: Thoughts are not behaviours; factors that lead to thoughts different from those that lead to behaviour therefore need to be thought of and targeted differently #ThursdayThought

Data & evidence are crucial.

Campaigning families - personal narratives - are similarly vital.

New risks are constantly emerging - internet, gambling, domestic violence.

We need to be constantly vigilant. 3/3

In August, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet. I’ll be facing The Skyathlon to raise money for CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably (@theCALMzone). 💚 Please watch my video to find out more.

Any donation will help save a life. Xxxx ❤️ https://t.co/s0n1o5mpfR

Watching @LewisCapaldi show the resilience to carry on at Glastonbury - and the outpouring of love and support from the crowd when he really needed it - was such a moment. Looking after your mental health is always the most important thing. We'll see you after your break, Lewis.
