💛 What if grief wasn’t something young people had to face alone? This Mental Health Awareness Week, we're proud to spotlight our project partner The Firefly Project, and their powerful work co-creating grief-aware communities in schools, colleges, and youth groups with and for young people. Co-founded by Jenna Maudlin, a runner-up of Big Change's Big Education Challenge in 2023, The Firefly Project has helped over 10,000 young people gain access to a grief-aware adult, proving that with the right space, even in winter, young people can bloom. 🌱 Read how they’re transforming grief into connection 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpZYyGi6 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #GriefAwareCommunities #OurCommunity #YoungPeople #MentalHealth (fb)

⚠️ Young people aren’t thriving. As we mark Mental Health Awareness Week, it’s clear they’re facing deep-rooted barriers in an increasingly complex world, and the statistics tell a stark story. For too long, change has been done to young people, not with them. At Big Change, we believe those closest to the problems often hold the most powerful solutions. That’s why we’re working across generations, with young people, communities, and leaders, to reimagine a future where all young people can unlock purpose, agency, growth, and meaningful relationships. Now more than ever, we need action that drives bold, systemic change. Our new strategy lays out a hopeful vision, and we’re backing the people ready to lead it. Because together we spark lasting change. ✨ #BigChange #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek (fb)
