Cloud Thought 16~ Stephen Hawking, Greg James and offering hope!

Wow it has been quite a day. I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Stephen Hawking. he was a true inspiration to so many. His passing gave me the idea for a new Cloud Thought.

I love this quote from him:
'Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.'

Greg James of radio One definitely had to do that when he attempted a massive challenge for Sport Relief. In an attempt to raise money to support young people suffering from mental health problems Greg cycled and walked in extreme conditions. The challenge had to be called off due to unbelievably dangerous weather conditions but Greg didn't give up and now the challenge is back on!!

Today I came across some great sites that help young people experience better emotional well-being  and mental health.
One is Milife:https://www.milife.org.uk/
It is a project created by young people for young people.

'My Mind' offers information on resources available to support people who are experiencing mental health difficulties:

'Big White Wall' offers peer support to 16-18 year olds:

I am delighted that there is more help available for young people who need help.
Please feel free to share this post and spread the word. Nobody should have to suffer alone.
