💬 Feeling Lonely? You’re Not Alone.

Loneliness isn’t just about being alone — it’s about feeling disconnected, even when others are around. Many young people feel this way, especially during times of change or stress.

Whether you’re starting a new school, struggling with friendships, or just feeling “out of place” — it’s okay to talk about it. At Youthline, we’re here to listen and help.

👥 You deserve connection, support, and to be heard.

🎤 Guest Speaker Spotlight: Scott Bundy

It gives us great pleasure to introduce Scott Bundy, one of our former Youthline counsellors, now a specialist trainer and school counsellor. Scott has done vital work exploring the rise of the Manosphere — a growing online world that is increasingly shaping how young people, especially boys and young men, view themselves, each other, and the world around them.

At our recent AGM, Scott shared powerful insights into what we may encounter in the counselling room and wider society — from online radicalisation, gender-based violence, and male identity, to the very real impact this has on girls’ safety, mental health, and self-esteem.

🗨️ “The Manosphere is hidden in plain sight — we need to understand it to protect our young people.”
🗨️ “Misogynistic content online is fuelling a rise in violence — this is a national emergency.”
🗨️ “We won’t always hear ‘incel’ or ‘manosphere’ — but we’ll hear the signs in how young people speak.”
🗨️ “Young women are telling us what they’re experiencing — we need to listen and support them.”
🗨️ “Counselling offers a space where young people feel heard — and that’s where real change starts.”

It’s a timely, thought-provoking, and essential conversation — and we’re so grateful to Scott for joining us and continuing to help Youthline counsellors feel more informed and confident in the work we do.

#YouthlineAGM #ManosphereAwareness #YouthMentalHealth #CounsellingMatters #ScottBundy #OnlineRadicalisation #YoungPeople #MentalHealthSupport #Safeguarding #InformedCounselling #MisogynyOnline #YouthlineCharity

🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Youthline’s AGM yesterday!

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our volunteers—especially those who have supported and given their time to Youthline over many years. Your dedication makes everything we do possible 💛

We were also privileged to welcome guest speaker Scott Bundy, who shared a powerful and timely talk on the Manosphere—highlighting the rise of online Incel communities and how counsellors, teachers, and youth professionals can spot early signs of radicalisation in young people. Scott brings a wealth of experience working with complex young people and training professionals to navigate this evolving challenge with confidence and care. Scott has been delivering this training to our counsellors for several years to equip them with the confidence to safely explore these issues with their young clients.

Together, we continue to grow, learn, and support the young people of Bracknell Forest. Thank you for being part of our community 💬✨

🧠💪 "Movement is medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states." – Carol Welch

When things feel heavy, even a short walk, gentle stretch, or dance around the kitchen can help shift your mood and mindset. Movement doesn’t have to be intense — it just has to happen.

Small steps can lead to big changes. 🌿

🧠 New Research Highlights Link Between Depression and Chronic Pain

Recent studies indicate that untreated depression may increase the risk of developing chronic pain later in life.

Why This Matters:

Early Intervention is Crucial: Addressing depression promptly can potentially reduce the likelihood of chronic pain.

Holistic Health Approach: Mental and physical health are deeply interconnected; caring for one supports the other.

Support is Available: If you're experiencing signs of depression, seeking help early can make a significant difference.

Remember, reaching out for support is a strength, not a weakness. Prioritising mental health today can lead to a healthier tomorrow.

Real words from real clients 💬

We’re so grateful to receive such meaningful feedback from the young people and adults we support through counselling.

Here’s what some of them had to say after their sessions:
💛 It has helped me find out who I am as a person
💛 I have gained trust
💛 Being listened too has been really good
💛 Having someone's else POV

Every message reminds us why we do what we do—and just how powerful it can be to have someone truly listen.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to help - www.youthlineuk.com

#YouthlineSupport #CounsellingWorks #MentalHealthMatters #RealVoices #YouAreNotAlone #TherapyFeedback

Exams can feel overwhelming—but you're not alone, and there are ways to manage the pressure. 💛

Here are some gentle reminders to help you through this time:

✨ Talk about it – Let someone you trust know if you’re struggling: a friend, family member, or teacher.
🤝 Study together – Working with others can make learning easier and less isolating.
💬 Be kind to yourself – Recognise how far you've come. Small wins matter.
🧘‍♀️ Prioritise self-care – Sleep, eat well, stay connected with people who make you feel good.
⏳ Remember – Exams are temporary. They’re just one part of your life.
🌱 Keep perspective – Results don’t define your worth or your future.

You’ve got this. And we’re cheering you on every step of the way. 💪

#ExamStress #MentalHealthAwareness #YouAreNotAlone #SelfCare #PerspectiveMatters #YouthlineSupport

💬 “I’m fine.”
One of the most common phrases we hear—and often one of the least true.

Many people say it because they don’t want to burden others, or they feel it’s just easier than opening up. But behind those words, there can be real pain, loneliness, and struggle.

If someone says “I’m fine” but you sense they’re not—check in. Ask twice. Be kind.

And if you’re the one saying it, please know that your feelings matter, and you deserve support too. 💛

🎓 Exams Coming Up? Let’s Talk Stress + Study Style 🎧📚

GCSEs and A Levels are just around the corner, and with study leave approaching, pressure can really build — from yourself, school, family, even friends.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need to revise like everyone else.
We all learn differently — and that’s OK.

🔍 What helps you focus?
🎵 Do you need music or total quiet?
🌿 A tidy desk or a cosy corner?
🍎 Are you eating enough, or skipping meals without realising?
🤯 Feeling pressure from others? What support do you need from them right now?
🧠 What helps you actually retain information?

There’s no perfect way — just your way. Be curious, kind to yourself, and remember: you’re not alone.

We’re here if you need someone to talk to 💬

🌟 We are so grateful to Mill Ride Golf Club for choosing Youthline as their Charity of the Year and for hosting such a fantastic Captains Charity Day! 🌟

It was a truly special event — so thoughtfully organised, with an incredible atmosphere of support and community.

Our volunteers felt so welcomed, and it was inspiring to see so many people coming together to make a difference.

A significant amount has been raised to support Youthline’s work providing mental health support to young people and adults across the local area — and we can’t thank everyone enough for their generosity.

Special thanks to everyone involved in organising and running the day — we couldn’t do it without you! 💙

We’ll be sharing the final fundraising total soon — watch this space! 👏

We are feeling so proud and emotional after hearing the news from the Pride of Bracknell Awards last night!

Our incredible Head of Operations, Collette Reynolds, was honoured for her 18 years of dedication to Youthline and to the young people of Bracknell.

Collette, who attended with her husband, truly is the heart and soul of Youthline. Her passion, strength, and commitment have changed countless lives — and we are so proud to see her recognised for everything she gives, every single day.

Congratulations, Collette — we are so lucky and proud to have you leading the way!

A huge thank you to the Pride of Bracknell Awards for celebrating her incredible impact, and to every young person, volunteer, and supporter who makes Youthline what it is today.
