i-THRIVE with BMBF

Mindful Me

Partnering with the NHS, BMBF have developed Mindful Me, a book specially curated for young people navigating life's complexities.

Exploring mental health and wellbeing is a brave step, and Mindful Me offers some useful tools and ideas to explore as you figure out what works best for you. It also has some helpful information at the back about i-THRIVE, the NHS programme aimed to help your mental health, and where to go if you need more support.

So whether you're new to mindfulness or expanding your self-care toolkit, Mindful Me is a space to experiment, reflect, and grow. And remember - the journey itself holds as much value as the destination.

Mindful Me will be distributed soon in schools across Stockton-on-Tees. For more information, email brightmindsbigfutures@stockton.gov.uk
