25.01.2022 The challenges of 2020 have greatly impacted the wellbeing of young people. Significantly, four in 10 young people felt stressed either all of the time or most of the time. Following equity and discrimination and COVID-19 as the top two national issues, three in 10 (30.6%) young people identified mental health as an important issue in Australia today. Young people’s top three personal concerns also link closely to mental health: coping with stress (42.5%), mental health (33.9...%) and body image (33.0%). This information definitely has a strong correlation to the information that our AYH Youth Advisory Group have been concerned about. In our AYH Podcast we are also talking about COVID and the impact it has had on our young people. Make sure you tune into - MAKING SENSE OF ADOLESCENCE - Coming out of COVID. https://www.avalonyouthhub.org.au/avalon-youth-hub-podcast/

25.01.2022 ANXIETY... Big topic. Everyone experiences it in some way shape or form. Helpful at times, not helpful at times. Weighs you down, spurs you on. This was a big topic to tackle and these guys nailed it. We can’t wait to launch this podcast next week. The count down is on!

25.01.2022 Bring more happiness into your life by doing what you love!!! It’s that simple! This message comes through loud and clear for us all in this week’s meditation with Merryn.

19.01.2022 This week is BODY IMAGE awareness week Body image issues and eating disorders effects both males and females. It can range from strict diets and negative self talk to having a diagnosed eating disorder. It is more common than we think and effects everyone differently. Are you concerned about the way you look? Are you constantly stressed out about what food you put in your mouth? Do you look in the mirror and speak hateful things to yourself? ... If yes, to any of those things, maybe it’s time to reach out and get some support. We can help you at the hub and you can make an appointment online via www.avalonyouthhub.org.au You can also talk to someone by calling the Butterfly Foundation National Helpline on 1800 33 4673 or you can also chat online via their website https://butterfly.org.au/ Let’s all work towards bring each other up and loving our bodies. We all come in different colours, shapes and sizes. No two people will ever be the same. Speak to yourself as you would your best friend.

11.01.2022 This can’t be truer and something you must try. When you’ve been hurt or triggered by someone, muster up the courage to reflect, wait, sleep on it, journal, do what ever it takes to hold off from reacting to that person for 48 hours. Once this time has passed and the red mist has settled, things come into perspective and we can make sense of what’s happened. We can communicate clearly and way more effectively. We don’t say things out of spite or hurt, we say it out of a place a calmness and perspective. Sometimes we don’t actually need to say anything at all. Give it a go and let us know how you go! We guarantee results. Change the way we react to change our old patterns. #blowups #overreacting #communication #anger #resentment #fear
