Teenagers With Experience

An online organisation created to provide teenagers with a safe space and a platform to share their voices and experiences to support others like them🌍🏳️‍🌈💻

#Twitter is a prominent platform where we can share advice with wider audiences! I like #writing Twitter posts because it allows me to express myself with certain topics. Are you interested? Why not apply to join the team? Here's the link to do so: https://t.co/OriUJPquaz - Katie

To our #UK followers, if you’re planning on driving or heading out today or over the weekend, please take extra care as #StormAusten brings challenging weather conditions.

Make sure to check your route before travelling, stay safe and have a spooky weekend 👻 - Mel ♡

Happy birthday to one of our long-term members, @codykkb ♡

Sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to change everything. It might not feel like it could make a difference, but it truly can. - Mel 💚

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

For #WorldMentalHealthDay it's important to remember that sometimes, all it takes is a phone call and someone willing to listen.

In our previous post, we shared that we’re not mental health professionals; we’re people who have come together to share our real-life experiences.

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

That’s why we always like to remind people that you don’t need to have all the answers or be a professional to make a difference. Simply listening and being there for someone can really make a change and even save someone's life.

So please, if you are struggling, reach out!

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

We’re not professionals; we’re people with lived experiences who understand how it feels to go through difficult times.

If you would like to read our mental health articles, visit: https://t.co/3ImMhRFXwm where you will find various mental health topics. - Mel 💚

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

#WorldMentalHealthDay this year is centred around 'Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.' At TWE, this is something we strive to do every day! Through our members’ articles and social media posts, we share real-life experiences and raise awareness.

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

We give people a chance to be heard and feel understood. #MentalHealth is an important topic that we encourage people to speak openly about, helping others feel less alone and reminding them that their voices matter.

It’s that time of year again when we can bring out this GIF and settle in for a cosy night of watching #MeanGirls!💗

So why not grab a comfy blanket, your favourite plushie and those tasty snacks and enjoy #October3rd🔖 - Mel

It's officially the first day of #Fall🍂 It's so exciting to see the falling leaves changing their colours, the crunch of the leaves as you walk through them and most of all the cosy nights that are approching!

As the evenings get darker, make sure to take extra care! - Mel ♡

Research has found that adverse childhood experiences are associated with significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety and other mental-health difficulties in adulthood — with risks increasing as ACE exposure increases.

But ACEs do not have to define our future. 🌿

Being normal is overrated.

It’s okay not to know. Here are some reminders for getting through uncertainty.

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

Take things at your own pace, listen to what your mind and body need, and don’t be afraid to reach out for support if you’re struggling.

Even small things, like getting some daylight, keeping a routine or doing something you enjoy, can make a difference. - Mel

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

As the season is changing, this can have an impact on your #mentalhealth and wellbeing. As the weather, daylight and our routines change, our mood and energy levels can change too.

💤Your sleeping pattern can change due to shorter days and darker mornings.

[Teenagers With Experience @teenswithexp]

🏃‍♀️‍Motivation can decline during the cold weather, as having fewer opportunities to do things outside can also affect your well-being.

🙃Expectations to feel happy and festive can sometimes make someone feel worse if they're struggling during the festive months.
