Summer break is just around the corner! Not only does that mean beach days, gelato and outdoor cinemas, it also means lack of routine and reduced social interaction can often mean increased loneliness and anxiety for teens. Add to that the imminent social media ban for under 16s and it could be a recipe for a lot of disregulation. 

The Mental Health Toolkit has lots of tools to deal with big emotions and teen life challenges. It also provides lots of alternatives to scrolling.

As I write this I can hear a cicada, the clock ticking, a fly, the hum of the refrigerator, cars in the distance, the rustle of my clothing as I move and the the clicking of the keys on my keyboard. What can you hear?
