🤍 🧠Today is

Every life is valuable, and every story matters. Let’s break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open conversations. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out - help is available and hope is real. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. We are here to listen, we are hear to help 🫶🏼

During challenging times, we may find ourselves wondering about the next steps in our journey. It's natural to question our path and seek guidance on what to do and where to go next. Remember, difficult times are temporary, and with patience and resilience, we can find our own way through them and emerge stronger on the other side.
Trust in your inner strength and keep moving forward with courage and determination!💪

The results are in!🌟
Custard creams were the clear winners for taste, although they didn't manage as well in a cuppa! Bourbons and malted milks also fell quickly into a brew, but the clear winner of the resilience test is....shortbread!🎉
Did you predict the winner? What's your favourite biscuit - do you think it would score higher than a shortbread or a custard cream?😆

Don't let your mental health crumble - have a brew and a biscuit with a friend!🍪

Jamee and Millie are about to put our biscuits to the test and see which biscuit is the most resilient! Out of malted milks, custard creams, bourbons and shortbread - which one do you think will be the winner? Cast your votes below!🌟

Happy National Biscuit Day!🍪
Enjoy some delicious biscuits this week to celebrate this special occasion!

We will be celebrating the day by rating some classic biscuits by their durability (how long they stay in one piece after they've been dunked!) and their taste - which biscuit do you think will come out as the best?💪

Sometimes in life it feels like you can't move for issues! Once one thing goes wrong, then something else bad happens, then another thing, and before you know you feel so weighted down with one problem after another that it feels like there is no way out!

That's where you're wrong!

Speaking to someone about mental health issues can be empowering and therapeutic. Sometimes you can get so bogged down with things that you can't think clearly and it makes you feel stressed, anxious and low, especially when you bottle up your issues.

Speaking to someone can be refreshing as they see your problems with fresh eyes and experiences. Many problems are very common and can be changed into a positive with a different perspective.

Even if you don't want advice, and just a sounding board to express your feelings and talk about what you are going through, it can feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

Just remember no matter what you are going through, there is always hope and a way out.

You are never alone, trapped or stuck!

Many children and young people can experience an overwhelming amount of pressure from peers to behave in a certain way, which can play a key part in them ending up on the youth justice pathway.

Peer pressure can affect an individual's mental health in several ways:

1. 𝗔𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: Feeling pressure from peers to conform to certain behaviours or expectations can lead to increased levels of anxiety and stress. The fear of not fitting in or being judged by others can create a significant amount of pressure and worry.

2.𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗺: When individuals constantly feel the need to meet the expectations of their peers, they may begin to doubt themselves and their own worth. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

3. 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: The constant pressure to conform to peer expectations can result in feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and isolation. If these feelings persist, they can develop into more serious mental health issues such as depression.

If you feel under pressure to do something whether it's passing an exam or being made to do something that you know is wrong, it's always good to talk to someone, as there is always a resolution.

You don't need to tackle this alone ♥️

Throughout life we take many twists and turns, and things don't always go to plan. If something goes wrong or stops you in your tracks, you don't need to erase all the great progress you have made to start again!

STOP, REFLECT & LEARN from it. Then restart from your last check point with your new knowledge and experience to help you positively move forward.

Talk to someone about how far you've come and what might have got in your way causing you to restart. Someone to speak to makes it so much easier to restart.

You've totally got this!!

We believe that getting the right help at the right time can make a huge difference to the future of your child, especially if they are potentially on the youth justice pathway.

We spend quality 1 to 1 time with a child or young person, to listen to them and then provide techniques to help them to understand and manage their emotions.

Early intervention is so important to help prevent mental health difficulties later in life.

A few positive and encouraging words, can make a HUGE positive difference to someones day, mindset and how they are feeling about themselves.

So whenever you chat to a friend, loved one, family member, teacher or even someone that might have served you in a shop, restaurant or on public transport, say something positive to help brighten up their day.

It's amazing how powerful a nice word can be for both you and the recipient.

What an amazing day presenting at the CYP trauma informed conference at the MKM stadium in Hull last week. 📝📚 It was lovely to see so many familiar faces, and truly inspirational to hear all the hard work going into system change and innovation, to support the future of our young people ✨🙌🏻

The JEFF team are so proud to be part of this and really helping to make a difference to the lives of children and young people in North East Lincolnshire.

JEFF aims to break down the barriers to young people accessing mental health support, so that young people receive the right support at the right time, in the right place, to help divert them away from the youth justice system.

We have a team of experienced mental health practitioners who work with children and young people aged 8 to 18 years providing psychoeducation, talking therapy, low intensity CBT, mindfulness, creative approaches and positive activities to support their wellbeing and mental health.

So never feel stuck, as there is always someone to talk to whenever you feel ready
