Your mind matters. Your voice matters. You matter.

Growing up isn’t easy. Today is Youth Mental Health Day, reminding us that it's okay not to have everything figured out, to feel overwhelmed, or to ask for help. If you're struggling with stress, anxiety, your identity, school, friendships, or life in general, know that your feelings are valid. Remember that your mental health matters!

All around the world, young people are coming forward to share their stories, raise awareness and create environments where mental health issues can be discussed openly and without shame. Initiatives in the UK such as stem4's Youth Mental Health Day and the Mental Health Foundation's community-focused efforts highlight the importance of connection and support.

So today, take a moment for yourself or reach out to someone you trust. Share a thought, a feeling, or even a smile. If you're feeling good, be the one to check in on someone else. You never know how much it might mean to them. We believe in your strength, your story and your future.

If you're struggling, always remember that help is available. Here at Freo Wellbeing, we're proud to offer support that's not only accessible but also kind and stigma-free. So, please do get in touch – we're always here for you!
