THE Mental Health Family Hour, a show launched in April last year, kicked off again this week with an episode focusing on young people’s mental health.
The episode is part of a new series that will be streamed live on Twitch.
Young people, parents and carers can also catch the episodes afterwards on the YouTube playlist. The first hour-long broadcast addresses concerns such as lack of motivation to do work, anxiety and the fear of losing someone to Covid-19.
Sam Tyrer, prevention and engagement lead for Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, said: “It’s so important for young people to feel comfortable enough to open up and have beneficial conversations around mental health with their parents and teachers. The Mental Health Family Hour is designed to help with just that."
Watch on Thursdays at 10am on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/mindsetbydave
