"Because of our phones, we are forever elsewhere"

Really interesting data for those of us concerned about a 'phone based childhood' or contemplating buying a phone for their young person (think a lot applies to phone based adulthood too tbh).
Obvious things to mandate for to encourage a 'play based childhood':
- Phone free schools
- No smartphones before aged 14
- No social media before aged 16

You don't just chuck a set of car keys at a child and tell them not to crash.

Will be reading the book...

I have a difficult relationship with Amazon 🤪so to announce the book is now available on this site (as well as with independent booksellers) feels a little yay/boo but announce it I shall as I’m a grown up!

A guide for young people to navigate the teenage years successfully. The book includes a story to follow, many facts about brain and body development at this stage of life plus strategies to help. Based on neuroscience, neurobiology and psychotherapeutic models and delivered in an accessible way ...

I'm excited to announce the development of some Mental Health eCourses for both individuals and organisations.

Having successfully delivered live courses to over 200 organisations, I've decided to build these into an on-demand platform for organisations to be able to purchase at lower costs. Finances need not get in the way of promoting good health.

Courses have included:
- Building a psychologically safe culture
- Providing emotional support at work
- Mental Health at work
- Supporting teenagers and understanding the teenage brain
- Managing Imposter Syndrome

So I need your help! What do you deem to be valuable learning? What mental health issues are you facing at work and want support around? What would benefit your workplace climate, attitude or behaviours? Or is it more about the personal issues that impact employees that would be more valuable support?

Please add any support ideas that you feel would be of benefit to you and/or your team in the comments below.

As a thank you for your help, I will randomly choose a name from the list of anyone who COMMENTS, LIKES and SHARES this post, and offer their organisation a FREE LIVE course from the list below.
Thank you :)

Wow!!! What a great evening. Thank you to The Corsham Bookshop and all the amazing parents, grandparents, carers and teens who came out on a wet evening to 'The Trip' talk last night.

There were some fantastic questions and discussions...and I loved the book being called a 'life raft' by one parent ;) I think we could have all chatted for much, much longer.

Turns out there are a lot of us standing on the same political soapbox when discussing mental health in our young adults. I wonder how can we gather together and act in some small way?
