Together we did...

Understanding the impact of the pandemic on young people’s lives, the youth council launched the worry Box project during children’s mental health week. Young people aged 13+ were asked to share their worries.

Why the worry box?

• To have a greater understanding of what is troubling the young people of our community at this time, so that action can be taken.
• To ensure that young people have an opportunity to voice their worries.
• Writing things down has a positive effect on wellbeing as it allows you to make sense of what’s happening in your life.

Based on the identified worries, a panel of experts along with youth council members conducted a webinar which was recorded. This recording is now available for children and young people to watch on the Your Say Southend website.
