Young people are experts in their own experiences.

Co-production is about listening properly, making space for honest views, and using those insights to shape support that feels more useful, more inclusive and more real.

When services listen first, young people are more likely to feel heard.

Getting help does not have to feel complicated.
No diagnosis is needed. Parents and carers can refer directly, and young people aged 12+ can self-refer. Simply fill in a short form to get started and our team will be in touch. Anonymous online support is also available straight away. Submit a referral at: https://beuswindon.co.uk/referrals

Is your child moving up to secondary school this year? 📚

Starting Year 7 can bring a mix of emotions – excitement, nerves, uncertainty and lots of questions. Kooth is running free virtual Year 6 transition sessions to help children feel more prepared for the move.
The session covers transition wellbeing, feelings around moving schools, calming activities, helpful tips, and the support available both now and throughout secondary school.

There are multiple dates to choose from over the coming months.

Social media can help young people connect, laugh, learn and express themselves – but it can also bring pressure, comparison and distress.

What matters is not just how much time they spend online, but how it leaves them feeling.

A helpful starting point is curiosity, not criticism.
What are they seeing?
Who are they talking to?
How do they feel after scrolling?

Kooth also shares guidance for families around distressing social feeds, which reflects how important this conversation is for young people’s wellbeing.

Is exam stress getting to you? 📚💭
When everything starts to feel a bit too much, even small things can help you reset.

Our partner Kooth created this self-care bingo card to give you a few simple ideas for coping with overwhelming feelings during exam season – from taking a proper break to getting outside, moving your body, or doing something that helps you feel calm.

You do not have to do everything perfectly, and you do not have to push through on your own. Try a few, see what helps, and be kind to yourself along the way 💜

Not every young person finds it easy to say how they feel.

Some will talk. Some will shut down. Some will show emotions through behaviour, frustration, withdrawal, tears, or anger.

Helping a young person express emotions safely starts with making space for feelings without judgement. They do not need to have the perfect words. They just need to know it is safe to be honest.

Meltdowns and tantrums can look similar from the outside – but they are not always driven by the same thing.

Sometimes a child is trying to get a need met. Sometimes they are simply overwhelmed and unable to cope in that moment.

Looking past the behaviour and asking what might be underneath can help us respond with more understanding.

This is especially important for children and young people who may already be dealing with sensory overload, emotional stress or communication differences.

Getting support can be simple.

A sense of belonging can have a huge impact on a young person’s emotional wellbeing. When that belonging feels shaky – at school, online, in friendships or even at home – it can affect confidence, mood and how safe they feel being themselves.

Sometimes the most powerful message a young person can hear is:
You don’t have to change who you are to deserve support.

Not every school holiday has to be full.

Rest matters too. Slowing down, getting outside, doing less, and having quieter moments can all support emotional wellbeing.

For many children and young people, feeling safe, rested and not under pressure is part of what helps them recharge.

The Easter break can bring rest and relief for some young people – but for others, it can feel unsettling.

Changes in routine, less structure, friendship worries, family stress, or simply having more time alone with difficult thoughts can all have an impact.

A little extra check-in can go a long way.
A simple “How are you doing today?” or “What would help things feel easier right now?” can open the door without pressure.

Getting support can be simple. Parents and carers can refer directly, and young people aged 12+ can self-refer. Our friendly team can help you explore the right support, including group sessions and anonymous online support through Kooth.

The best support is shaped with the people it’s for.

At BeU Swindon, co-production helps make sure young people’s voices, experiences and ideas are part of the conversation – not added in afterwards.

When young people are listened to, services can feel more relevant, more inclusive and more supportive.

Big feelings can feel overwhelming for children and young people – and for the adults supporting them too. Sometimes what looks like “bad behaviour” is really a sign that a child is overloaded, dysregulated or struggling to communicate how they feel.

A calm response won’t fix everything straight away, but it can help a young person feel safer, more understood, and less alone in that moment.

This April, during Stress Awareness Month, we’re sharing simple ways to support children and young people through difficult emotions – with compassion, curiosity and no judgement.

Anger is often the visible emotion. Underneath, there may be disappointment, embarrassment, anxiety or feeling unheard.

Responding calmly doesn’t mean allowing everything - it means looking for what the reaction is trying to communicate. Understanding reduces escalation.
