A - Z of mental health: C
Mental health problems affect around one in six children. They include depression, anxiety and conduct disorder (a type of behavioural problem) and are often a direct response to what is happening in their lives.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help you understand how your thoughts and actions affect how you feel.
Anyone can experience a mental health crisis. In a crisis, you may feel like you can’t carry on. You may be at risk of hurting yourself or trying to take your own life. It’s vital to get help immediately.

All about Human Rights
December 10th is Human Rights Day. The day is marked around the world every year on the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations on this day in 1948. But what exactly are human rights? And how do they affect you – at work and elsewhere?
Focus on: dealing with past trauma
If we suffer trauma, abuse, pain or distress in childhood, we are often powerless to do anything about it. That powerlessness can increase our suffering. We’re going to look at why it’s important to address past trauma and how to deal with it so that it doesn’t continue to do damage to your life now. It’s never too late to get help.

Bodhi Day
Bodhi Day is a Buddhist holiday, commemorating the day that Gautama Buddha experienced enlightenment. Gautama Buddha was the founder of Buddhism and is also known simply as Buddha. He was born a wealthy prince, with the name Siddhattha Gotama, over 2,500 years ago in India. At the age of 29, outside the luxury of his palace, he saw people suffering, and decided to live as a holy man. He travelled widely and sought answers. Then, one day, sitting meditating beneath the Bodhi tree, he achieved enlightenment. He became the Buddha and spent the next 45 years teaching others how to grow spiritually and attain enlightenment.
