What helps you relax? 🎧🎮🚶‍♀️

Everyone has their own way of switching off after a busy day. Maybe it's listening to music, gaming with friends, going for a walk, getting creative, or just taking some time for yourself.

Taking a break and doing something you enjoy can be a great way to look after your wellbeing 💙

FACT ✅

Young people are more likely to seek support when they feel listened to and understood.

If you're worried about a young person's wellbeing, alcohol use, drug use, or va**ng:

✔ Stay calm ✔ Choose the right time to talk ✔ Listen more than you speak ✔ Avoid judgement

You don't need all the answers. Being there is a great first step.

When was the last time you checked in with yourself?

Take a moment and ask:

💭 How am I feeling today?
💭 What's going well?
💭 What do I need more of this week?

Looking after your wellbeing is just as important as looking after your physical health.

Whether you're heading back to school, college, sixth form, university, or starting somewhere new, it's normal to feel a mix of emotions.

Remember:
✅ It's okay to feel nervous
✅ Everyone settles in at different speeds
✅ You don't need to have everything figured out
✅ Asking for support is a strength, not a weakness

This term, be kind to yourself and focus on progress, not perfection.

💙 What's one thing you're looking forward to this year?

If you do need help, reach out when you are ready- https://www.turning-point.co.uk/services/wakefield-inspiring-futures

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, a time to remember those who have lost their lives to overdose and to raise awareness of the steps we can take to prevent future deaths.

We have two questions for you: would you recognise the signs of an opioid overdose, and would you hit share on this post to help spread awareness?

We're sharing the key signs of an opioid overdose to help raise awareness and provide information that could save a life.

Please help us spread this important message by sharing this post with friends, family, colleagues, and local community groups and pages. Together, we can increase awareness and help save lives.
