I can’t stop thinking about #adolescence - the Netflix show is a profound achievement, asking deep questions about the role we all play in raising our children, highlighting issues The Children's Society see every day in our work We mustn’t give up on this generation of adolescents

Saddened to hear another story of a young person waiting TWO YEARS for mental health support shared on #BBCQT by this dad Seems to be cross-party support for open-access hubs like those we run The Children's Society - so let’s get them scaling up, children can’t wait any longer

Netflix’s ‘Adolescence’ exposed the secret language of emojis sometimes used by teenagers. This exchange means: “You’re going to be fine,” followed by, “I am depressed.” What’s important is that every adult in a young person’s life feels able to start the conversation.

Nearly 40,000 children experienced a wait of 2 years+ for support. Hannah could run around the world 5x in that time. In the second episode following Hannah’s journey to the #LondonMarathon, she visits Time for young people in Newham - our emotional wellbeing support space⭐️

Urgent now for government to use the extra time to put together a package to really protect children from hunger & hardship. Including; - Lift two child limit - Move Universal towards covering cost of essentials - - Invest long-term in a Financial Resilience and Crisis Fund 2/2

A child poverty strategy with no serious funding not worth the paper it written on; so better it’s released with investment BUT: every day it’s delayed is another day in which more children fall into poverty & are damaged by the impact Our children can’t afford to wait

Now is the time to make the #ChildPovertyStrategy as ambitious as possible. All children should have a chance at childhood, and the opportunity to build the future they want. Send a message to the Chancellor today demanding investment in young people: …erychild.childrenssociety.postbug.app

We see the distressing effects of poverty on children's health and wellbeing every day. These figures should be a wake up call to Government to act quickly to prevent another generation of children from growing up in hardship. End Child Poverty

Time to wage war against child poverty Britain will be safer & stronger when we lift more young people from multiple direct threats of poverty First strike: let’s take down 2-child benefit cap We’re battle-ready at The Children's Society to advance the capabilities of our children
