Just wanted to say a big hello to all the new and fabulous parents who care enough about our young people to be here! It truly takes a community to raise them ;) Looking forward to gradually 'meeting' you all! It's good to see the space growing. I found ReachOut late last year as a result of committed searching to support one of my five young people, aged between 12 and 21. It was such a lifeline at the time (when I was discovering the reasons behind the Mental health issues arising - much of it media related to Body Image), that since then I've endeavoured to spread the word - on and offline! It's such a great online resource to 'have up your sleeve' but also a really supportive community when you need it most! By the way, did you know that you can order free resources on this site too for your workplace, school or community group? Stickers, posters etc - very cool :) I'm learning to 'relax' with Mindfulness practice, which actually came about via looking for support for my teens. We have so much to learn from each other! That's probably my best bit of advice learnt on this journey! We come and go from this space as time allows, as issues arise or engage us and to share tips, experiences, perspectives and more! This is a really a sharing and supportive space for us all, thanks RO ;)
