Let’s give our little people the tools to become comfortable with who they are, happy that their good enough is enough, and most of all to enable them to talk about their feelings. With our funding we want to make available workshops for children to obtain those tools.

We need to show our children that exercice no matter how little is so good for our mental wellbeing.
Money raised by @tomwestmids is going to be offered to sports groups/clubs for them to carry out mindfulness or breathing exercises within their sessions. #solihull

Meant a lot to see a local business in full support of our first event on 12th October! And especially loving their window for @VeloBirmingham #childrensmentalhealth #BrumHour

5 ways to wellbeing - CONNECT
We need to encourage our children with this skill by showing them that making connections and forging relationships with those around us will enrich our lives.
We intend to run family workshops with money raised

This is something our children need to hear more often about themselves.
Learning the 5 ways to wellbeing is a fantastic start. This type of support is where we want the money raised from our events/sponsorship to go - within schools/sport clubs/group workshops #solihullhour

Good to hear this! We all live with social media which can confuse ‘touched up’ with reality. I want my children to be ok with bad days, good days and everything in between. Money raised for @tomwestmids will be used for training workshops for both children and families

@FourAshesGolf @CoptHeathGC Thank you so much for your support as always

[talking opens minds @tomwestmids]

How many of us practice this?
How about giving it a go, or attending a workshop to learn how?Teaching our children this skill is invaluable to their mental wellbeing and resilience.
Take a moment today and just stop #childrensmentalhealth #childrensemotions #healthandwellbeing

Thank you for all the support shown. It very much shows the positive sides of social media. I’m very much someone (natalie) who never expects anything and I’m always blown away by people’s kindness. This post sums that up perfectly #Mindfulness #positivethinking #Wellbeing

[talking opens minds @tomwestmids]

Blown away by the response already!!
Date for the diary!

“There’s a lot of things that boys need to do to start changing. Talking, it needs to be done. That’s the most important thing. Because once you can talk to one person about your feelings, that allows you to talk to other people."

I don't want to say much about it, but I've literally just sat down with a stranger who also lost his Dad to suicide back in 1991 for a newspaper feature.

There's something powerful about sitting opposite a complete stranger who just 'gets it' because of similar experiences.
