Thanks to all who joined us at today’s launch of research into young people’s experience of leaving mental health clinics bit.ly/4hXwJBQ.
During #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek read how our @cardiffcouncil Family Wellbeing Service helped Chloe and the rest of her family when anxiety led her to self-harm.

Young people tell us that being discharged from full-time mental health support can be frightening and traumatic, yet there are lots of things that can help. #childrensmentalhealthweek.
On March 4 we will be launching our new report based on interviews with young people and what they want to see change. If you are interested in joining us for the Bristol launch see ticket details at bit.ly/3WLzsFS

We can't wait to see some of the young people we support through @barnardos Kernow Young Carers featured tonight.
Join us on @ITV and @ITVX for the Together at Christmas Carol Service at 7.30pm this evening.
This service reflects upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this year's celebrations.
Wishing everyone who has supported us through the year a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

For this year's #InternationalDayfortheEliminationofViolenceAgainstWomen, we're advocating for investment in education. We spoke with Paula Bowman Project Lead at our #RealLoveRocks service, to discuss the signs of unhealthy and exploitative relationships: brnw.ch/21wOX4z
ALT A young girl holding a phone sat in front of a bed. Text bubble saying: How does investing in education help you and other young people from unhealthy and exploitative relationships?
ALT Text graphic saying: Investing in services that provide ground-breaking education programmes help professionals teach children and young people about healthy relationships and exploitation.
ALT Text graphic saying: Interactive toolkits that promote conversations about difficult topics. This teaches young people that the adults around them want to help keep them safe.
ALT Text graphic saying: Sex education is a crucial part of prevention work to keep young people safe from exploitation, grooming and abuse. It helps them to develop the confidence to build healthy relationships.

The service patrols Bristol streets, gathering intelligence from sex workers so that vulnerable young people at risk of grooming can be identified and supported.
