Having good mental health isn’t just about avoidin Having good mental health isn’t just about avoiding low moods; it’s about feeling connected, bouncing forward after setbacks, and building strong relationships.

When your mental health is in a good place, it's easier to cope with life’s ups and downs. But when things get overwhelming, you don’t have to face it alone.

In Liverpool, support services for young people are available for every level of need, from staying well to specialist crisis care. And most services don’t need a referral.

Find the right support, visit the website.

Why is self-compassion important, and what is it? Why is self-compassion important, and what is it?

Self-compassion promotes mental and emotional well-being, building resilience and a growth mindset. It helps reduce anxiety and depression by encouraging self-kindness and acceptance, even in the face of adversity. Practicing self-compassion can also lead to healthier relationships and increased motivation for self-improvement. 

When we treat ourselves with kindness and understanding after setbacks or mistakes, we're more likely to learn from them and persist in the face of adversity. This builds resilience and a stronger sense of self-efficacy.  Self-compassion can be a powerful motivational force, helping children and young people to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. 

Delivered by the @myaraiseteam, this Bitesize course provides:
🧠 Insight into self-compassion and the underlying theories 
💛Cultivating your own self-compassion
🫶 Strategies to help gain self-compassion and embed them into your own life
