Aye Feel helps young people to manage emotional wellbeing

It’s easy for young people to feel worried by what they’re hearing about COVID-19 right now. To support young people, we’ve launched a new resource to help them manage their emotional wellbeing.

Aye Feel is a new dedicated micro-site hosted on young.scot. It supports young people’s emotional wellbeing with quality-assured information, expert advice, content made for young people by young people, and signposting for emotional support locally and nationally.

Information and links to expert support will be shared through our social media channels including via Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. This will help us to reach young people in the digital spaces they spend their time in.

This campaign has been made possible by the Scottish Government’s recent funding of key mental health services . This will help young people to understand that it’s perfectly normal to be dealing with anxiety, fear, uncertainty, anger or sadness during such difficult circumstances.

“The theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is ‘kindness’ and there couldn’t be a more important time to remind people to be kind to themselves and each other, as we all strive to get through this unprecedented situation.

The most important thing to remember this week is that it’s okay not to feel okay. If that applies to you then there are resources you can access including  speaking with someone, and I would encourage people to do that.” Clare Haughey MSP, Minister for Mental Health.
