9th March 2025 - Covid Day of Reflection

9th March 2025 marks the Day of Reflection across the UK for the COVID-19 pandemic.

 We are all aware of the effect that the pandemic and lockdowns had on young people’s wellbeing and mental health. 

 The huge disruptions in their lives, including school closures and social distancing measures, had a big impact on the opportunities for children and young people to achieve fundamental cognitive, emotional and social milestones critical for healthy development.

 Headspace is a local charity working in the community in and around Bourton on the Water to help young people aged between 11-19yrs who are struggling with their mental health, whether that’s Covid related or not.

 If you know a young person that we could support, please do take a look at our website to find out more about the free counselling and Wellbeing Programme that Headspace provides.
