"People are not driven by past causes, but move towards goals that they themselves set."

Debate time!

Do you believe that quote is true?
Do you believe people are truly capable of change?
Do past experiences HAVE to influence your future?

Personally, I can see both sides to this argument. I mean I wouldn't be sat here writing this and building YYC if it wasn't for my past experiences!

Or would I?

Let me know what you think! Perception and opinion are what help us grow and learn from each other.

Truth bomb - I can be pretty spontaneous. Like do something, then think later.

I won't say it's ALL been bad. I have had some pretty epic experiences (London Marathon), met some amazing people and not been scared to fail (thankfully! Currently on lesson 3762)

But there is only so far you can go with that. It certainly warrants a place in life, life would be canny boring without it!,

BUT

For those things you feel in your very core,

That purpose you discovered and realise it is your calling,

Your reason for making change. For you and for others,

That all takes time.

And a plan!

So for foreseeable that spontaneous streak is being muted.

Well kind of.....

It's time to get serious!

There could be some exciting news in the pipeline. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thing is though, I don't think I've ever really explained why you can trust me. Or what I bring to the table!

The plan is still being built, however a few things that I feel proud to shout about, that are relevant to the bigger picture:

- Degree in Psychology
- Level 3 EBSA
- SMART Recovery Facilitator
- Level 3 Domestic Abuse Awareness
- Level 4 Understanding Children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties
- Drawing & Talkng Practitioner
- Mental Health First Aider

But my NUMBER ONE reason why I believe I can help make a difference?

Lived experience. No matter what my professional qualifications may be, I get it. I've lived it. And I want you to believe in yourself, despite any circumstances telling you otherwise.

I can offer a safe place. No judgement. Understanding. And be your biggest cheerleader.

***dePreventionDay

Every single hour, someone feels like the only way out of whatever is going on day to day, in their head, is to take their own life.

Every single day, someone has thoughts that are telling them so many horrible lies. No one loves you. You're a burden. You're worthless. The world will be better off without you.

You will see a lot of statistics today. A lot of motivational quotes. All good awareness, however, easy to scroll past!

But take it from someone who has been the above, who 9 years ago was very nearly part of the official figures, who for months truly believed it was the only viable way.

If I'm completely honest, at fleeting points years after, still can think about it, but who really knows - YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Life can be hard.

Really hard!

But you can get help. There are people who love you. Who will be there by your side, on the other end of the phone, to counteract every lie your brain tries to tell you. Organisations and services, large and small, who truly WANT to support you.

My past and my experiences are now fuel to my fire to get to where I know I can be. They are no longer the toxic sound of why I shouldn't be here ❤ They are the foundation of my gratitude and my purpose in life.

SHE BELIEVED IN DREAMS

The word "legend" is used an awful lot these days, to the point that the meaning and context can be diluted.

Yet last night, the world lost the true epitomy of a legend - Dolly Parton.

From "rags to rhinestones" as many are quoting, Dolly is one of the most prolific stories of inspiration. Of being a real life example of who you can be, regardless of where you come from, regardless of the expectations and belief of others.

As we mourn the loss of a lady who had such a positive impact across the globe, we must also keep on spreading her message of self-belief, of not being scared to dream our dreams, of never limiting ourselves!

Sleep tight Dolly 💙

OVER 150,000!

According to recent studies, that is how many children and young people are currently in the care system in the UK.

This includes under Special Guardianship agreements, foster care and residential homes.

Here are a few facts for you (*please note these could be triggering for some*):

- Parental drug/alchohol use is identified as main reason for removal in 39% of cases

- For children under the age of 1, this rises to over 60%

- Children and young people who are, or have been, in the care system are 4 times more likely to partake in alcohol and/or substance abuse than their peers

- Higher rates of trauma, mental health challenges, and multiple placement moves strongly correlate with increased vulnerability to substance and alchol misuse

But here is the most concerning fact, in my opinion,

Two young people A WEEK who have recently left care are dying. This includes by drug/alcohol misuse and taking their own life.

A tag line I heard today really resonated - THE CARE SYSTEM NEEDS TO CARE.

I agree!

But then I think as a society we ALL have to care too. Let's stop turning a blindeye. Let's stop being naivè. Let's work together to break the stigma around these topics!

If you work with children or young people in the care system, or those who will be leaving soon, and would like to have a chat about how Yes You Can can work with you, get in touch today.
