🗓️ Summer holidays often mean routines get thrown off — and that includes parents too.

With children at home and usual schedules paused, it’s common for parents and carers to lose their usual daily structure. This can add stress and make it harder to support young people’s mental health.

Try to create new routines as a family — simple plans like regular meal times, screen-free zones, or set times for fresh air and movement can help everyone feel more settled.

Remember, rebuilding routine takes time — be kind to yourself and your family as you find a new rhythm this summer.

School’s out! Breaks in routines and pressure to fill days with fun activities can be hard, especially if your teens are watching others on social media who appear to be having more summer fun! It’s important for young people to prioritise their wellbeing and make time for self-care. Gather inspiration from YoungMinds https://buff.ly/38UrDYz

🗓️ The Summer Break Isn’t Always Easy

For many young people, the holidays aren’t just a break – they’re a big change.
Changes to routine, friendships, support systems and the thought of what comes next (new school, GCSEs, college etc.) can all impact mental health.

Talk to your child about how they’re feeling. Acknowledge that it’s OK for the holidays to feel challenging – and remind them support is there if they need it.

📱 With more free time on the way, young people may spend extra time online — so staying safe is key.

Our Be Scroll Savvy campaign encourages parents and carers to talk openly about online safety. Discuss who your child chats with, set screen time boundaries, and encourage regular breaks from screens.

Being involved helps keep young people safer and more confident online.
