Owen, age 15
“I was worried about my GCSE’s and the pressure I felt from everyone to do well. I put so much pressure on myself and just forgot to be me I would be up all night revising – I stopped doing all the things I used to love doing. I joined a Let’s Connect group and realised that just talking to other people really helped. Things are different now – I think about things differently; I’m kinder to myself; I feel happier and less stressed.”
Parent of Aisha (age 16)
“There has been a huge difference in my daughter’s confidence which has been unbelievable. She is so much happier in herself and to talk about her feelings now. She has been more confident with her exams, and it is paying off in her results.”
Parent of Alex (age 15)
“My boy would have been a complete mess on the build up to his exams without Let’s Connect but is so calm now; it is brilliant now he is so different to what he is normally like – this has made the whole family situation less stressful.”
Ranni, age 16
“I’m not having as many panic attacks now. I feel less angry now and I’m less anxious about tests and exams in college. Understanding my triggers has helped me to manage and understand my feelings more. I have learnt how to keep calm.”
