First, Next, Then: More Than My Thoughts

*Understanding My Feelings, Handling Life's Changes & Knowing When to Ask for Help*

For ages 10-15 years old

Being a teenager can sometimes feel like carrying an invisible backpack that gets heavier and heavier.

At only twelve years old, Maliah is discovering just how complicated growing up can be. There's homework and exam pressure, changing friendships, pressure to fit in, social media comparisons and worries about problems at home. Before long, Maliah finds herself trying to carry everything alone.

But when her thoughts, feelings and worries begin to feel too much, Maliah discovers something important: looking after your mind matters just as much as looking after your body.

With support from the people around her, Maliah learns how to recognise her emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, set healthy boundaries, cope with study stress and peer pressure, take care of herself and speak up when she needs help.

Most importantly, she discovers that growing stronger doesn't mean carrying everything by yourself.

Warm, relatable and empowering, helps young people understand that difficult feelings are nothing to be ashamed of and asking for support is a positive part of taking care of yourself.

FIRST: Understand your feelings.NEXT: Speak up.>Because your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your mind matters. And so do you.

Perfect for: young people aged 10-15, parents and carers, schools and PSHE lessons, pastoral and wellbeing teams, healthcare professionals, and anyone looking for an accessible way to begin conversations about mental health, friendships, peer pressure, family changes, social media and study stress.
