We understand how tricky it can be taking time off work and caring responsibilities to attend our workshops. This year we will producing online, prerecorded versions of our parent workshops so that you can access that same information from the comfort of your own home.

The way we think impacts the way we feel and what we do. Therefore the more negative thoughts we have the worse we can feel. 'Coping thoughts' are one strategy you can use to cope with negative thoughts and see things from a more balanced perspective.

Due to interoceptive differences, neurodivergent people can be hyposensitive or hypersensitive to the physical symptoms of anxiety.

This month we are focusing on sharing information about managing emotions. Today we are focusing on the emotion anxiety.

Knowing where to turn can make all the difference. It is important to work together to support the mental wellbeing of our children and young people. nhslanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk/services/child…

The directory helps families, young people and professionals navigate the wide range of mental health supports available locally — from early help to more specialist services.

This Children’s Mental Health Week, we want to shine a light on the Children & Young People Mental Health Services and Resources Directory developed by our colleagues within NHS Lanarkshire 🌈

Below is a short, child-friendly guide to help children and young people practice deep breathing. Like any skill, it takes time and repetition. For best results, practice for a few minutes each day when calm, so it’s easier to use in moments of stress. youtube.com/watch?v=lUXV-C…

When our bodies feel under stress, hormones like adrenaline and cortisol are released, which can make our hearts race and our breathing quicken. Deep breathing exercises can help calm the body by slowing the heart rate, balancing carbon dioxide levels, and reducing stress.

Supporting children’s mental health starts with small, everyday actions. Simple strategies can help children feel safe, understood and emotionally supported 📷

Today marks the start of Children’s Mental Health Week 💛 Every child’s mental health matters. Keep an eye out this week for posts to help you to understand, support and nurture your child’s wellbeing ✨
