PACT Parents And Carers Together

PACT Parents And Carers Together Suffolk parent carer peer support organisation for anyone who has a child/young person experiencing poor mental health.

You can support us using this link buymeacoffee.com/pactsuffolk We are parents and carers with lived experience of caring for children and young people with mental health issues. We found, back in 2013 that there was no support, so PACT was created. Discovering that your child is experiencing a mental health issue can be a very isolating and uncertain time. We believe that by supporting each other and educating ourselves we can have a positive impact on our children and young people along with the whole family. Although we are based in Suffolk we are happy to hear from and support any parents who ask. We run regular face to face meet-ups, well-being walks and provide an online support group every Friday evening. We run training (Youth MHFA) and offer small group facilitated sessions on particular themes such as parent-led CBT, sleep issues, ARFID, etc. Feel free to get in touch to find out how we can support you in your journey in family mental health.

A really tough article to share. *warning as article about suicidal death of a child 💔

Rest in peace Leyton, our hearts and love go out to your family and friends. So important to share, to remind people how words can and do impact a child/persons mental health and feelings of safety and security in the world. Please remind your children and young people to and speak up if they see bullying or discrimination against others 💔💜

EMINEM SHOCKS AMERICA: In a move that no one saw coming, Eminem has signed a historic $200 million deal to build the nation’s first-ever boarding school for at-risk youth and recovering addicts, set to open in Detroit. The project — called The Marshall Academy of Resilience — will provide full housing, education, therapy, and mentorship for kids who’ve lost everything. “This isn’t about fame,” Eminem said tearfully. “It’s about giving kids the second chance I fought for.” The announcement has taken the nation by storm, with fans and celebrities flooding social media to praise him as “the most inspiring voice of 2025.”

Sometimes it’s not attitude.
It’s a brain in survival mode.

When a teen’s amygdala is triggered, logic shuts down and protection takes over. What they need most isn’t punishment or pressure — it’s safety, calm, and understanding.

Our Managing Big Feelings Toolkit helps parents, carers and educators support young people through these moments — with scripts, visuals, and brain-based strategies that really work.

Let the big kids be kids.

If a teenager shows up at your door this Halloween, dressed up (or maybe not), holding out a pillowcase for candy—smile and hand them some.

Because here’s the truth:
They could be anywhere else.
But they’re choosing to do something sweet, silly, and innocent.

They’re choosing childhood for one more night.
They’re choosing wonder instead of trouble.
They’re choosing safety over risk.

And isn’t that exactly what we want for them?

Teens get pushed to grow up so fast—grades, sports, jobs, social pressure, big feelings, big choices. But on Halloween, they get permission to just be kids again.

So if those taller ghosts and princesses show up at your porch—
Celebrate that they’re still holding onto their childhood. And toss a few extra treats in their bag.

Let them have their candy.
Let them have their fun.
Let them stay little—just a little longer.

Happy Halloween.
