🧠 Young people’s mental health is in crisis — and youth workers are stepping up. Today, UK Youth & @dartingtonsdl.bsky.social launch the Youth Work Role Cards, a new resource that explores the many ways youth workers support wellbeing. #YouthWork #MentalHealth #ThrivingMinds #UKYouth

As a proud member of the Back Youth Alliance, @ukyouth.bsky.social is delighted to see the commitment to an #EnrichmentEntitlement for every young person in the Curriculum & Assessment Review. To make it work in practice, youth work must be recognised as a core partner #EnrichmentforAll

A great afternoon spent with outdoor education leaders in Westminster encouraging MPs from all parties to support our campaign to make outdoor residential experiences accessible to all young people. Outdoor education can boost confidence, build resilience, and change lives.

Centre for Mental Health @centreformh.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
🗣️ "We exist in struggle, but we could do with less of a fight". This #TransDayofVisibility, read Jay's account of the toll that transphobia takes on their mental health, and how they navigate accessing mental health support: www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/in-flux-betw...
An image of a person holding up a banner which reads: Trans folx are not a threat, transphobia is!. Overlaid text: In flux between identities: the mental health impacts of transphobia. By Jay"I think a lot about what it’s like for those of us who have parts of our identities become ‘hot topics’; when our existence, lives, and experiences are contested. It’s hard enough trying to cope in this world and figure ourselves out, whether we’re trans or not. I just want to live my life, instead of feeling like I’m dodging transphobic bullets from the media, the government, and the world."

Great to see the Government’s plan to develop a National Centre for Arts and Music Education. This initiative builds on the foundations laid in @bencooper1995.bsky.social's 2022 report ‘A National Music Service’, created in partnership with the Musicians Union musiciansunion.org.uk/news/governm...

"Despite a government drive to distribute laptops, the Sutton Trust found that by the first week of the January 2021 lockdown had little improved, with just 10% of teachers reporting that all their students had adequate access to a device for remote learning."

The Government is creating a 10-year National Youth Strategy to improve services & empower young people. Help us reach 10-21-year-olds and ensure their voices shape this once-in-a-generation plan! 🔗 Share the survey: iwill.org.uk/NYS-Deliver-... #DeliverYou #NationalYouthStrategy
Graphic design with a red background featuring white text styled like a retro diner. The main text reads 'Deliver You' in bold, cursive lettering. Above it, 'NATIONAL * YOUTH * STRATEGY' is written in uppercase. Below, a checkered pattern separates the tagline 'What’s YOUR order?' in a mix of script and pixelated fonts. At the bottom, 'POWERED BY' is followed by logos for HM Government, #iwill movement, My Life My Say, and Savanta
