Best of luck to all receiving their exam results tomorrow.

Whether your results are exactly what you hoped for, or not quite what you expected, remember: this is only one chapter in your journey. There is still a world of opportunities ahead.

The most important A, B and C are not the ones on a results sheet, but the ones that shape your story. Exams measure papers, not people.

Take care of yourself, stay safe, and remember that Futures In Mind is here for you. 💚 (0818) 303061

Our child and adolescent psychotherapist, Molly Redmond, has raised growing concerns about the number of young people using our service who are engaging in self-harm and expressing suicidal thoughts.
She notes that excessive mobile phone and device use appears to be a significant contributing factor, with school attendance also suffering as a result.
To support parents, we’ve created a practical guide that highlights the risks linked to device use and how to respond effectively.
Please remember: any threat of su***de or self-harm should always be taken seriously.
You’ll find the link to the guide in the comments. http://l.taxiwatch.ie/help
