Building Resilience in Young Minds

21/08/2025

A reminder for parents and teachers: their results belong to them. Let them own them.

Not every results day feels good and the instinct is to fix, save, or soften the blow. But often the real work is not doing it for them, but standing with them.

Let them feel what they feel. Sadness and frustration are normal. Listen more than you talk. Focus on the next right step, however small.

Sometimes the best support is simply holding space, holding hope, and holding them until they’re ready to move forward.

Good luck to everyone collecting their A Level results today!

Remember, results aren’t everything.
If you’re happy with your results, congratulations!
If things didn’t go to plan, this isn’t the end, it’s just a redirection. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from unexpected paths

You’ve got this 💪

Recommend us to your school, start a conversation, make an introduction. The more schools we reach, the more young people we can support to build resilience, unlock their potential, and create stronger communities.

Let’s keep the momentum going – together, we can make a real difference.

Enrichment Days: BRIYM Breathe

Some fabulous feedback from Mr Bacon at Lord William’s School in Thame, Oxfordshire.

🌟We’ve just finished our second stint of using the facilitators supplied by BRIYM and it has, once again, been an incredible experience for all involved. The students thoroughly enjoyed all the practical sessions and developed real insights into how their brains work and how they can have a say in how they react. The team were positive, polite, great with the students and very knowledgeable about the situations our students may be facing. We’ll definitely be using BRIYM again!”🌟

Will we be coming to your school next year?

The “Hug Rule” 🫂 If you are lucky enough to receive a hug from a child, try giving them the power to control that hug: only release when they have had the hug they need.

Works for adults, too 🫶

Let us know how long your longest hug was for!

A big thank you to Crafting Smiles for these brilliant calm balls! They’ve been busy creating them for the students we work with at BRIYM – and the students absolutely love them. Such a thoughtful and practical way to support wellbeing.

It's Meet the Team Fridays! Say hello to Emma, from our Enrichment Team.

Emma is a sound practitioner and crystal healer, working closely with the plant and mineral kingdom and earth's medicine to enhance and facilitate opening, healing and connection.
She holds sacred space for people to expand, release and explore their different soul aspects, encouraging a deeper connection to ourselves.

Her sound journeys flow intuitively, ranging from the celestial to the shamanic; frequencies are called through the various instruments and voice to work through the emotional and physical auric layers, releasing stuck emotions, tension, encouraging those parts of us that need to be ‘seen’ to come forward, and allowing a reclamation of ourselves that perhaps had been lost or forgotten.

Each journey is unique; each experience is unique. In this process of softening and letting go, we allow the life flow of energy to return.
