Spotted on Tower Bridge today! One bee, one duck, a Lego head and more yellow balloons than we could hold.

Happy Hello Yellow Day! 💛

Hello Yellow is 10 years old. That’s a decade of turning the country yellow so young people know they’re not alone with their mental health.

Who are you wearing yellow for?

Let's stand out and show up for the young people in our lives this . 💛

Today marks ten years of Hello Yellow, our annual campaign for young people's mental health.

Look around today and you'll spot it everywhere. Yellow on the commute, in office corridors and in school playgrounds up and down the country.

This is our team, standing out and standing up for young people.

1 in 5 aged 8 to 25 have a probable mental health condition. Every bit of yellow today is another sign to them that they're not carrying it alone. 💛

Parents and carers, if your child is getting angry, it can be difficult to know how best to respond. Here are five strategies to help you respond to your child when they get angry.

1/ Try to separate your child’s feelings from their behaviour, remembering that all feelings are okay, even though some behaviour is not. Make it clear that you’re not dismissing their anger by letting them know that it’s okay to feel however they feel, and that it’s normal to feel angry sometimes.

2/ Try not to get angry yourself, as this will only escalate the situation. Focus on staying as calm as you can - using a calm voice and open body language, for example by not folding your arms.

3/ Avoid asking them lots of questions when they’re feeling very angry or distressed. Acknowledge that they’re feeling angry, and let them know that you’d like to talk with them about what’s going on when they feel ready.

4/ If it feels appropriate, offer them some time and space to calm down. Especially with older teenagers, sometimes just having half an hour to listen to some music or do an activity they enjoy can help them feel calmer - making it more possible to have a conversation about what’s making them feel this way.

5/ If you need to, explain why their behaviour is not okay, so they understand - and hold consistent boundaries around consequences. For example, you might say that while it’s normal to feel angry, it’s not okay when they shout at you. Remember that while your child might resist boundaries and consequences, they can actually help them to feel safe, contained and cared for.

Hello Yellow Day 💛

Our Parents Helpline is temporarily moving to an email-only service from Tuesday 6th October to Friday 9th October. Our phone and webchat services will be unavailable during this time and we will not be running our extended opening hours during this time. We know this may be a worry for some you, however, please drop us an email on [email protected] and we will be here to support you.

This temporary move to email is due to unforeseen staff shortages, which means we have reduced safeguarding capacity. We always want to make sure we can help parents the best we can and plan to get back to our usual service as quickly as possible. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.

If you or a young person close to you needs urgent help, please visit our website

The YoungMinds Parents Helpline, Webchat and Email provide support and help for parents and carers worried about their child’s mental health and wellbeing.

Parents and carers, supporting a young person in your life can be tough.

Juggling work, life, parenting and supporting a child who’s struggling with their mental health. As well as managing your own mental health challenges. The pressure to balance it all can feel overwhelming.

When you care for others, it can be hard to care for yourself. But doing so can give you the energy, capacity, and resilience to cope with life - and to be the best parent or carer you can.

Taking just five minutes to engage in small acts of self-care can make things feel less overwhelming, giving you the time and space you need to sustain yourself, recharge, and protect your mental health. If you can, take the time to look after yourself because you matter too.
