A Better Day : Alex George (author), : 9781526364449

In this empowering and hopeful handbook, Youth Mental Health Ambassador Dr Alex George is here to show us how. Right now young people need a voice in government, and I hope that through this role I can advocate for meaningful change in this area. We all have a brain, but it’s likely that, ironically, we very rarely ever think about what it’s doing for us all day long (and at night). But it’s doing some pretty amazing things: keeping us breathing, giving us dreams, regulating our blood pressure and all manner of other complicated things. A Better Day is a positive, accessible and practical toolkit guiding young readers in how they can care for their mental health with confidence.

I would say the book is aimed at kids aged 10-16 roughly. But also great to read as a parent of a child in that age range to help gain a better understanding of children's mental health. The book remains positive throughout and you get the feeling that the author has personal lived experience, and understands well the struggles that the reader may be going through. From peer pressure and exam stress to online trolls and anxiety, life can be mentally draining. But though life is full of ups and downs, there are ways you can stay on top of your mental health - including overcoming stigma, talking about your feelings, developing resilience and switching your mindset. Miej lepszy dzień" to poradnik dotyczący właśnie tych spraw - zawiera wskazówki jak dbać o swoje zdrowie psychiczne, jak zmieniać szkodliwe schematy na zdrowe zachowania. Zawiera też podstawowe informacje o naszej psychice, odczuwaniu emocji i inne przydatne wiadomości.

I am honoured to be appointed for this role where I’ll be working closely with government to make mental health an absolute priority and hope to have a positive impact on the lives of young people and their education for good. As Youth Mental Health Ambassador, he will use his clinical expertise and personal experience to champion government’s work on children’s mental health and shape policy on improving support for young people in schools, colleges and universities. His appointment comes on top of the existing support government is providing to ensure children’s mental health is a priority – including the Wellbeing for Education Return project, which provides funding to councils so they can offer training and advice from mental health experts to schools and colleges on how best to support their pupils.

The Prime Minister has today appointed Dr. Alex George as a Youth Mental Health Ambassador to advise government and raise the profile of mental health education and wellbeing in schools.From peer pressure and exam stress to online trolls and anxiety, life can be mentally draining. But though life is full of ups and downs, there are ways you can stay on top of your mental health – including overcoming stigma, talking about your feelings, developing resilience and switching your mindset. Rather than be a book about defeating mental illness, Dr George poses this helpful and practical book as about creating mental wellness and healthy strategies and routines. In part three of the book (“A Better Day”) there’s useful advice about maintaining a healthy diet, being creative, sleeping well and developing resilience and mental strength to be able to deal with the problems that come as part of life. Alex is on a mission to make mental health education compulsory in schools, and has become prolific throughout the UK in his campaigning with charities such as YoungMinds, Anna Freud Centre & Mind, to lobby the government to change policy and ensure mental health sits alongside the likes of Maths and English on the curriculum. An upbeat and positive book which feels perfectly pitched at lower secondary school kids and will no doubt be hugely helpful for many. This book provides all the scaffolding and practical techniques to help you do this, so though you might be having a hard time right now, you can look toward your future with optimism and positivity. Because no matter what, there is always hope for a better day.
