We are appalled and angered by the violence unfolding on our streets at the hands of far right groups. No one should have to live in fear of being attacked for following their daily routine, practicing their faith, or simply existing. For thousands of young people the threat of this violence is very real and cannot continue. One thing you’ll see less of in the media are the many people coming together in solidarity and supporting each other, despite feeling scared, angered and even unsafe. In darkness hope shines brightest. And a community bonded by hope will always thrive over a community bonded by hatred. The amount of people who care in this country far outweigh those who don’t. Hate will never win.
To our Black and brown brothers and sisters, from asylum seekers to third generation, this is your home. As hard as it is right now, don’t let the events of the last few days ever change that view of yourself or your place here. You belong. You are valued. You are wanted. You matter.

A challenge for tonight: Spend at least 10 minutes on self-care tonight. It doesn't need to be fancy - just 10 minutes doing something that is for you, and you only. Something that always makes you feel that little bit better.

Always important to remember this when a young person opens up to you about their mental health. Simply listening can go a really long way.
If a young person is opening up to you about their mental health, treat yourself as the reader of a booker rather than an author. Give them space to tell their story.
