Today is @mind.org.uk #TimeToTalkDay
Being honest and talking about difficult things is tough! But it's also the first step towards getting the support you need. Talking also reduces the stigma around seeking support!

When young people get the right support, parents feel the difference too! 🫶
For Stem4's Parent Mental Health Day 2026, we’re sharing some of the changes caregivers told us they’ve seen since their child attended the ReSET programme. 📣

On the 2nd Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 2 Professors had an idea 💡🎓

It all started with a conversation between Professors Essi Viding and Pasco Fearon. They saw the growing need for adolescent mental health support, and imagined a school-based, preventative, transdiagnostic intervention.

On the 4th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 4 Years Running 🕰️📆

On the 5th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 560 Participants 👨👩👧👦🎉

On the 7th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 7 South-East Councils 🗺️📍
