At The Mix, it is essential that we listen and work with young people to make sure that our organisation meets the needs of young people. We know that this is particularly important in the world we are in right now, and so some of you will have attended some workshop chats to help set the direction of the organisation throughout this pandemic. One of the strong themes that came out of these workshops was that we need to ensure that there is more positive stories being shared despite all the scary news about the virus.
Our content team heard what you were asking for and worked furiously to embed this in the content they have been creating for Mental Health Awareness Week, and yesterday we launched this video:

"The way that I have found the light in my life is through the expressive arts because I know that I will be accepted for the way I am." ~ Me
"I'm going to get strong again and see you soon. " ~ Anonymous
I did have a cry, yes. To put it bluntly, it's am extremely shit time at the moment and I think people need to look and reflect on the positives more, instead of all the negatives floating around
"Like when I was down you just had that smile that made me feel like everything's worthwhile. Thinking of the day when you went away, what a life to take, what a bond to break, I'll be missing you"

I would also recommend following @thehappynewspaper on Instagram (and you can subscribe to their quarterly newspaper too) it's really heartwarming and has been getting me through the past few months.
