A BARNSLEY project has developed a young people’s mental health first aid kit to improve support for mental health issues.
The kits have been produced by young people’s empowerment project, Chilypep, and include items such as glitter jars, lavender dough, wrist bands and colour therapy books, are aimed at helping young people to cope and resolve a number of mental health issues.
Alongside the kit, the organisation has worked with a group of teens to create 31 tips for better mental health - one for each day of the month - designed to manage symptoms alongside other support.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
