One for the memory box last night, for @SuzanneAlderson & the PMH community. Suzanne was honoured for creating the PMH - enabling us to support parents, supporting children with #mentalhealth problems. And with up to 5m viewers, we aim to raise awareness & help many more families
Tonight's #OneBigThankYou goes to Suzanne who set up a project that offers a lifeline to families around the world. 💛🌍
Here's the moment we surprised her - and her reaction is priceless!

With 25% of referrals to CAMHS rejected, this recommendation by @CentreforMH is one we support enormously "We're calling on mental health services to offer young people the help they need without requiring them to meet restrictive eligibility criteria" centreformentalhealth.org.uk…
As we are currently conducting nationwide research into the experience of attending A&E with a young person in mental health crisis, we were shocked to read this horrendous and extreme account of one family's experience. @denis_campbell

Yesterday three of our inspirational and hugely brave parents from the PMH community shared their digital stories, at 'Rise Up! Reconnect, Rebuild, Recreate': International Digital Storytelling Conference 2022 #IDST22
Watch their digital stories here:patientvoices.org.uk/mydepyo…
Knowing what is 'normal' teen behaviour and what is something to be concerned about is difficult. Some great pointers here from @YoungMindsUK > We also have a guide below with advice on what to do if you feel concerns re: your child are not being heard parentingmh.wpengine.com/wp-…
If your teenager is struggling with depression, here are four things you can do.
ALT Don't ignore worrying symptoms. Talk to your child about the signs of depression that you've noticed and voice your concerns in a caring, non-judgemental way.
ALT Avoid asking too many questions. Instead listen and empathise. You don't have to have all the solutions.
ALT If they don't want to talk, try again the next day. Expressing feeling is hard enough at the best of time for teens, when they are depressed it's even more difficult.
ALT Seek professional help. If nothing is helping and the symptoms are worsening, arrange an appointment with your GP.
Aside from supporting nearly 30k parents in our judgment free, sensitively moderated online community; PMH are rolling out a series of online events and training designed to support, skill and empower the parents of young people with poor mental health.

Middle-aged mum, unashamed slow-runner. I made it. From C25k a few years ago. Today I did the @LLHalf - my sixth half-marathon in 3 months for @ParentingMH which helps young people with mental illness and their families. If you’d still like to support justgiving.com/fundraising/e…
