@HubOnyx Hi @HubOnyx, we’re having an event on Sunday from 2pm, discussing protecting our youth after the unjust treatment of #ChildQ. Please feel free to join us, if available. Details are included via the below Tweet. In solidarity. twitter.com/clsuk1974/stat…

Child Q was targeted and inappropriately strip-searched after being accused of smelling like marijuana. We focus on supporting the wellbeing of Black youth. Every child should be able to attend school without the fear of being harassed or discriminated against. #childQ

As our friends in America celebrate Black History Month, we have created a list of books written by Black authors. These are just a few out of the hundreds that are out there. What are your favourite books by black authors? #blackvoices #blackbook #blackwriters #empowerment

The pandemic has exacerbated these anxieties and it’s essential we continue to create safe spaces for young people to talk about their worries. We will also be giving advice on how to manage stress and where to go for help.

This Friday we’re discussing how to deal with stress and anxiety. Trying to meet deadlines and the build up to exams can be overwhelming. It’s important to organise your time to ensure you take care of your mental health. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Happy New Year 🥳 Some of you may have New Years resolutions… and some may not. We’ve made a list of resolutions that you may want to consider #happynewyear #resolutions #youth
