Recent figures show that more children and young people are attending A&E due to mental health concerns, with the biggest increase seen among younger children. [bmj.com], [telegraph.co.uk]

Behind every statistic is a young person who may be struggling with worries, stress, loneliness, anxiety, or difficult experiences.

At Lifespace, we believe you shouldn't have to wait until things feel overwhelming to ask for support.

💚 Talking helps.
💚 Being listened to helps.
💚 Reaching out is a sign of strength.

Whether you're having a tough day or facing bigger challenges, remember that you don't have to carry it all on your own.

🏃‍♂️💙 Good luck to the Flying Scotsman James and guide runner Rob who are taking on the Great North Run on 13th September to raise money for Lifespace's early support services for children and young people.

Their fundraising will help ensure more young people can access support when they need it most, before challenges reach crisis point.

You can follow their progress on race day via the Great Run app using their bib numbers: 📍 James: 10517 📍 Rob: 25140

If you can, please show your support by scanning the QR code or visiting their GoFundMe page to make a donation. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us continue providing vital early intervention support.

👏 Wishing James and Rob the very best of luck. We're all cheering you on!!!! theflyingscotsmanvirunner

Today we join people around the world in recognising World Su***de Prevention Day.

This year's theme, "Changing the Narrative on Su***de", encourages us to challenge stigma, promote understanding, and create safe spaces where people feel able to talk openly and seek support.

Suicidal thoughts can affect people of all ages, and many young people may be struggling silently with overwhelming emotions, stress, loneliness, or feelings of hopelessness.

Reaching out for support can make a difference, and no one should feel they have to cope alone.

At Lifespace, we're here to support young people through mentoring and safe spaces to talk. We are here to help young people feel heard, understood, and supported.

Could your school benefit from a team of trained Peer Listeners?

Lifespace is offering Peer Listener Training Workshops for schools across Warwickshire, helping young people develop the skills, confidence and compassion to support their peers.

The workshops are practical, engaging and interactive, using role plays, real-life scenarios and group discussion to help students build confidence and turn learning into action.

By training Peer Listeners, schools can help create a more supportive culture where young people feel heard, connected and empowered.
