Today is Youth Mental Health Day and as many young people across South Tyneside are returning to school we want to pay tribute to our 30 youth mental health first aiders we trained last year in parternship with @LNER to support children and young people. #YouthMentalHealthDay
We fully support @helendalby and the team at the @ChronicleLive
There’s no place for hate and abuse anywhere in today’s society, inclduing online. As Helen says “enough is enough”. It won’t and should never be tolerated #BeKind
Enough is enough. Here's what we're doing to tackle hate speech on @ChronicleLive and on social media. Spewing forth abuse over digital channels and attacking others online is not acceptable, is not without consequence, and will not be tolerated. #BeKind chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor…

ANNOUNCEMENT: Re-opening of schools in #SouthTyneside.
We’re aware that a number of #schools across the country and within South Tyneside will be preparing for a phased return on Monday.
In 2019 South Tyneside Against Bullying trained 30 teaching professionals to be @MHFAEngland Youth Mental Health First Aiders.
We believe that children and young people’s mental health is crucial especially during a phased return to school after almost 2 months of being away...
