ALL MENTAL HEALTH IS IMPORTANT - men are no different!

The problem is for years that men have been overlooked as they tend to talk about mental healh less than women so people assumed their silence meant they were fine rather than that they didn't know how to communicate their feelings.

Great question! We created this bundle of notepads after the adult bundle to support children. We wanted it to be accessible to a large range of people and when we released the bundle we had a lot of adults say how much they liked the notepads. We didn't want people to feel as if they were purchasing a childs notepad, if something helps that is all that is important. We bundle our notepads together so people can buy notepads but anyone can use any notepad they think will be beneficial to them. There are no rules here!

The children today are growing up in a world we never did, a world where they cannot get away from the world and switch off. A world where they have constant access to the media, to their peers (both good and bad) and they don't switch off in a way we did previously when we were younger. Before technology people used to write all the time, pen pals, writing in diaries and that isn't as popular in children nowdays, we're trying to change that. It is proven that writing changes the way your brain processes stress. Writing down thoughts and feelings and looking at what can help feel better is brilliant for helping our children become adults who know what helps them when they're feeling anxious and how to support themselves or recognise they need support

Worry monsters are a great physical representation of getting rid of worries. The worry monster has a zip mouth that opens and allows the worries to be put inside. The worry can then be removed once the person who was worrying is out of the room.

In the same way that we tell people that they should rip up their worries or throw them away, putting them inside a worry monster is a great way of getting the worries out of their head and into another physical space.
