🎓✨ Is your child starting college after secondary school? It’s a big milestone – here are some ways you can support them through the transition:

💬 Encourage openness – remind them it’s okay (and exciting!) to meet new people and try new experiences.
📅 Support organisation – gentle nudges to plan ahead can make things easier.
🌍 Promote independence – give them space to find their own way, while knowing you’re there if needed.
🔄 Normalise change – reassure them that new routines and environments take time to settle into.
💙 Model kindness – encourage patience and self-care while they adjust.
🤝 Stay connected – keep the lines of communication open so they feel supported.

College is a journey for the whole family – your encouragement makes all the difference. 🌟

💔 Divorce or separation can be tough — especially on young people.
As they go through their own developmental journey, dealing with family changes can add extra emotional and behavioural challenges.

Children and teens may feel sadness, anger, confusion, or even guilt. They might struggle with routines, show changes in behaviour, or have difficulty adjusting.

What can help?

✅ Reassure them they're loved and not to blame.
✅ Keep routines steady.
✅ Encourage open, honest chats.
✅ Avoid conflict in front of them.
✅ Seek support when needed.
✅ Work together as co-parents.
✅ Be patient — healing takes time.

You’re not alone. Support is out there. Childline NSPCC Mind

Vicious cycles play an important role in maintaining anxiety. However, like the vicious cycle of low mood, you can turn around this cycle to create a positive cycle that will help you to overcome anxiety.

One important step in reversing the anxiety cycle is gradually confronting feared situations.

If you do this, it will lead to an improved sense of confidence, which will help reduce your anxiety and allow you to go into situations that are important to you.

Kicking Off Summer with a Bang! ☀️🎉

Our MHSTs have been out and about in the community, joining in with some amazing local events to connect with young people and families.

This month, we’ve been part of ZebFest – Hull’s free festival for young people – and the Driffield Show, meeting hundreds of people to share information, tips, and support around emotional wellbeing and mental health.

These events are a fantastic way for us to get out into the community, have conversations, answer questions, and make sure young people know where to turn for help and advice if they need it.

We’re excited to keep the summer vibes going and can’t wait to meet more of you at future events!

Our East Riding MHST are working with young people in schools to help them set SMART goals – that means goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Why? Because learning how to set realistic goals builds confidence, supports emotional wellbeing, and helps young people take positive steps toward what matters most to them.

Whether it's managing stress, improving friendships, or building learning habits, SMART goal setting helps young people feel more in control. 💪✨
