BOD POD a safe community space for young people

The theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness week is Community and we wanted to share with you, over the course of this week, a very special community we have created – called the BOD POD – and why it works as a safe and inclusive space for young people who are struggling with their mental health.

Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone.

This week’s news stories were created in collaboration with members of the BOD POD who shared their ideas, their artwork and their insight into why the BOD POD is a safe and nurturing community for them.
