The way we communicate and empathise with our little ones informs the way that our big ones will later choose – or choose not to – communicate with us.

Trauma is related to how children experience a situation, not necessarily how serious we think it is from the outside.

By helping children to understand the things they find difficult, we can arm them with coping strategies to successfully navigate their daily lives.

By creating safe spaces where children, teachers and parents can listen to each other, we can show young people that learning isn’t just about the curriculum and the classroom.

“Whilst I still have a tendency to blame myself for things that aren’t my fault, since my diagnosis, I’ve been able to show myself a little more compassion.”

By talking to children about mental health and neurodiversity we can help them understand and accept themselves for who they are, and give them the tools to ask for help when they need it.

By understanding risk factors for depression and supporting children to meet these challenges, we can encourage better mental health outcomes.

Anxiety can look and feel different for each child, particularly if they have a pre-existing mental health or neurodevelopmental condition.

Children should be protected from feeling that their mental health or neurodiversity means that their life is limited, or has less value.

By providing young people with the tools to manage their stress, we can encourage them to take action themselves before they reach the point of feeling they can’t cope.
