You’ve done the late nights. The endless notes. The back-to-back papers. 

You’ve already shown courage, commitment, and more strength than most people see.

And now — you’re here. The final stretch.

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have all the answers.

You just have to keep going — one breath, one moment, one paper at a time.

If your mind is racing or your chest feels heavy, try this:
 “I’ve done hard things before. I can do this too.”

It’s not just a mantra — it’s the truth. You’ve overcome more than you think.

And even if today feels like too much, you’re not alone in that feeling. 

We still have free counselling spaces open for teens navigating stress, anxiety, and burnout during exam season. If you need someone to talk to — no pressure, no judgment — we’re here.

You don’t have to carry this all on your own.

Avoiding messy feelings?

Brushing feelings under the carpet is a temporary fix, and it’s okay to need help untangling the complicated bits.

Try the Pomodoro Technique to study smarter, not harder.

Here’s how it works:
50 minutes of focused study (no distractions)
Followed by 5–10 minutes of proper movement — walk, stretch, shake it out
Repeat the cycle a few times, then take a longer break

This method boosts concentration, reduces burnout, and gives your nervous system a chance to reset. You’ll actually get more done — and remember it better.

Why movement helps your brain:

When you study for a long time, your brain gets overloaded. Concentration dips, memory weakens, and stress builds up.
Moving your body — even just a short walk or stretch — does several powerful things:

1. Increases blood flow to your brain
2. → More oxygen = clearer thinking and better memory
3. Lowers stress hormones
4. → Movement helps reduce cortisol, the hormone that spikes when you’re anxious or under pressure
5. Releases feel-good chemicals
6. → Endorphins and dopamine get a boost, which can lift your mood and motivation
7. Switches off fight-or-flight mode
8. → Physical activity tells your nervous system it’s safe to relax, helping you feel calmer and more grounded
9. Gives your brain a reset
10. → Like hitting refresh on your focus and creativity

As Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 draws to a close…
⠀
This year’s theme—Community—reminded us just how vital connection is to our mental well-being.
⠀
From local events to quiet conversations, we’ve seen the power of people coming together to listen, support, and uplift one another.
⠀
As the week ends, let’s carry that spirit forward:

Check in on someone.
Reach out when you need support.
Keep building spaces where everyone feels they belong.
⠀
Mental health matters—every week. And community is where it begins.

Exam tips that actually help.

We know the pressure is real right now, so we’ve put together a practical guide packed with everything that makes a difference — not just the usual “revise more” advice.

Use Websites & helplines if you need extra support
BBC Bitesize and other trusted resources can help break topics down.

Look at different Revision techniques that suit your learning style. Not one size fits all.

A reminder that a good revision timetable can reduce stress (not add to it!).

Eating a protein breakfast, getting a good night’s sleep, and taking regular breaks help your brain work better.  Breakfast fuels your brain for focus and memory. Sleep helps your brain process information and stay sharp for the day ahead.

And a gentle nudge to avoid the dreaded post-exam overthinking spiral — you’ve done your best, and that’s enough!

One small thing could make a big difference.

Struggling to sleep with exam stress swirling in your head? You’re not alone — and there’s a gentle way to calm the chaos.

Try ending your day with a few quiet moments of journaling. Grab a notebook and jot down:

*Three things you accomplished today (big or small)
* One thing you’re grateful for
* A small, kind goal for tomorrow

It helps ease the mind and bring a sense of calm before bed.

And don’t forget — it’s the weekend. Rest is productive too. Make space for self-care, even if it’s just a walk, a nap, or doing something that makes you smile.

You’ve got this 💪🏻
