22.01.2022 Sometimes young people don’t seek help when experiencing mental health issues, because of stigmas that can cause so much fear and tension within communities. When peers have spoken out, they’ve been judged and called ‘attention seekers’. Speaking out doesn’t always have to be in large groups - it’s about finding someone you can trust to speak to. - Nikita Meet Nikita, the youngest of all our participants at 16 talks about why she believes young people don’t speak out about ...their mental health. To support awareness of Mental Health Week, we sat down with seven young people to talk about mental health and their experiences, and we will present one video each day this week. The Y is a platform for young people to share their issues and concerns. #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealth #theY #YMCA #YWeAreHere Trigger warning this series of videos discusses suicide and mental health.

20.01.2022 I think that social media drives this idea that we have to be perfect. We have to hide our weaknesses. We have to only represent ourselves as strong. And I think that’s unrealistic and fake, because it creates this dissatisfaction that we have with ourselves. - Harsha Meet Harsha, who shares about Social Media driving an unrealistic idea to be ‘perfect’ and that we need to continue the conversation around Mental Health as it’s not going away. To support awareness of Mental... Health Week, we sat down with seven young people to talk about mental health and their experiences, and we will present one video each day this week.

15.01.2022 Wednesday means hump day! And what better way to get you through the rest of the week than to express our reasons why we’ve already made it this far. So today we are asking you - ‘what’s your Y?’ One of our members Sarah says I go to the gym because of health issues. I stay because it made me feel more confident, able to do more things in my normal life. I go to the YMCA because it's a fun family. In England I used to like an impersonal gym where no one would look at me. But then it was easy to not bother turning up. Here, I like being greeted as a friend at the front desk, that class members miss you if you haven't been for a couple of weeks. But mainly I go to Kilgaraff because Naomi picks me up and takes me there!! #theyalicesprings #whatsyourY
