World Mental Health Day 2020

October 10, 2020

The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year. This year’s theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is ‘mental health for all’

Improving the mental health of the nation is more important than ever before. At YPAS we are committed to providing mental health and emotional wellbeing services for Liverpool’s children, young people and families all year round and have continued to do so through the current covid-19 pandemic.

For world mental health day 2020 we have marked the day by sharing positive quotes and affirmations on our social media and sharing some of our services users feedback to spread some positivity and messages of hope for all our social media audience and beyond. Below is some of the content we have posted.

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
