We love this message from Laura.
Accepting that it's okay not to be perfect is the best thing I've ever done for my mental health. It's okay for me to struggle, make mistakes, need support. It doesn' make me weak. It doesn't make me a failure. It makes me human.

The average waiting time for CAMHS has more than doubled since 2019. But still only 1% of the NHS budget goes towards young people’s mental health. Services urgently need more investment.

Today is a good day to check in on a friend, family member or colleague 💜 #TimeToTalk
Graphic with text: Tips for talking to someone about their mental health: Minimise distractions - Choose a place where people won’t interrupt. Make time - Make sure you have time to talk and don’t need to rush. Actively listen - E.g. use small gestures like nods to show you’re listening. Ask, don’t tell - Ask how you can help, rather than telling them what to do.
