Happy #NationalLazyDay! A good day to talk about what can seem like laziness in #teenagers is often a sign of their #developingbrains needing more sleep. Supporting healthy #sleephabits is essential for young people’s #mentalhealth & #development. Let’s not mislabel 🧡

Let’s bust some common #myths about #mentalhealth Mental health challenges affect many young people, but misunderstandings can stop them getting the support they need. By knowing the #facts, we can break down stigma and help young people feel safe to ask for #support.

At YMM, we see how real #listening changes lives. Our mentors sit with young people, giving them space to speak and be heard — no judgement, no interruptions. Being listened to — really listened to — builds trust, confidence and hope. #WorldListeningDay #MentalHealth

#Loneliness can affect anyone. It often creeps in quietly. It’s missing out on #friendships. It’s feeling invisible at school. It’s feeling like no one sees you or hears you. #Bekind. Even the smallest act can turn someone’s day around. Let’s make sure no one is left out. #ymm

Happy #InternationalDayofFriendship. #Friendship is showing up when it matters — the inside jokes, the long chats, and the quiet moments too. It’s being there through ups and downs so no one feels alone. Let’s be the #friend who checks in, listens, & stays when things get tough🧡
