Children's voices matter.
It's Children's Mental Health week and the theme is 'my voice matters'.
Educational Psychologist's from across the country explain why it is so important that children's voices are heard.
👏 Thanks to the EP's who collaborated with us on this video.
Come and get involved in lots of fun sensory regulation, mindfulness and zones activities tomorrow and chat to our passionate Paediatric Occupational therapy team plus lots more services we work closely with to support child and family mental wellbeing @SBUHBOT #MentalHealthWeek

Today is the start of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, and we want these messages to be seen by as many young people as possible. We asked our online community what advice they'd give to their 10-year-old self. These are their answers.
ALT If I could say one thing to my 10-year-old self, I'd say: you are not broken, you've had a difficult beginning. I promise it will be ok.
ALT I see you, I love you. Don't be afraid to speak up and be heard. I know the world is confusing, and it feels like you don't fit anywhere. Just know that you are enough and you are so so special.
ALT Find someone safe to talk about what's happening. You don't need to struggle on your own.
ALT Don't worry about not being popular - when you're older, you will have a small number of really amazing friends. They will love you, and you will love them back.

Listening and validating their feelings is one of the most valuable ways to support a young person. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

ALT What people think support sounds like. You'll be fine. Don't worry about it. What support actually sounds like. I'm sure that is really difficult. I am here for you. How can I help? I can't imagine how that feels. Thank you for telling me. Give them a hug. This will pass. You are not alone.

Post-covid impact is still very real for our cyp & the vast developmental & social gaps they continue to navigate as a result, paired with 'super school' environments which are not sensitive to brains which are growing and maturing. Collaborative working across agencies is key
Good to see @SeneddWales on @ITVWales @SharpEndITV discussing #schoolabsence #mentalhealth & how the vast majority of parents are struggling & not negligent, how it requires a relationship/inclusive approach & to fund education adequately so impact is seen on the ground. #ebsa
