I came across an inspiring site today. It is a great model!
Their vision is “of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all children and young people. A society where children’s views are respected and they are loved, safe and enjoy life.”
- To improve life chances for children and young people at risk of and experiencing difficulties with mental and emotional health
- To achieve better outcomes for parents and families who engage with children’s mental health services
- To promote the good mental health and emotional well-being of all children
Their “Young People” section is user friendly and my own students (youth-at-risk) find it useful. LINK
I like that they highlighted the following:
To celebrate youth, mental health, and the use of art to heal, I am sharing a detail below from my student Alicia’s latest painting. Love, Katarina

Well, I read the trigger warning after the trigger. wow.
There should be a warning saying that you just missed the trigger warning and that you should go back and read it before the trigger gets worse.
Alicia’s painting is powerful! Good Work
