Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can affect daily life. Recognizing its signs and learning healthy coping strategies can help restore balance and a sense of control.

How can we help

Depression

We all experience feelings of low mood from time to time. Depression is when you feel low for a very long time, and this affects your day-to-day life. Anyone can get depression, or become depressed. About 1 in 10 people have it.

How can we help

Eating Disorders

An eating disorder is a mental health condition where you use the control of food to cope with feelings and other situations like worrying about your weight or body shape.

I just wanted something simple that told me what I could do right now. If Thrive had been there, I could have found videos and tips for coping with stress and school stuff. It would have helped me feel like…” Read More

Jessy

Age 14

“As a parent, it was heartbreaking watching my child struggle and not knowing where to turn. We tried to find support, but the information was scattered and confusing. We tried reaching out to school but this was useful for my child as they did noy like school. We went to our GP, who referred my child to CAMHS only to be told we did not meet the criteria and to try parenting programmes, which was not the answer…” Read more
