In February Learn 2 Live opened the doors of their beautiful Grade II former country house in Nether Wallop, to the rst cohort embarking on a distinctive, six-week, residential programme. Each child will follow an individually tailored course of treatment and therapies to build strength, con dence and resilience from within. is collaborative, personalised intervention leads them from initial admission to successful transition and post-discharge support. According to data released by the Royal College of Physicians, the number of children referred to emergency mental healthcare in England has soared by 53% in just three years. More than 600 mentally ill children a week are deteriorating to such a state that they have reached crisis point and NHS child and adolescent mental health services are under unprecedented pressure, with waiting lists an average of ve months, and in the worst cases as long as two years. e mental health charity ‘Young Minds’ says: “Young people today are facing a unique combination of challenges, including the consequences of the pandemic and academic catch-up, which are taking a toll on their mental health.” Recognising the warning sign of a mental health challenge and acting before it gets worse, results in much better outcomes. Early intervention can save a young person and their loved ones from stress, prevent more serious symptoms from developing and reduce the chance of problems with work, family, school and substance use. Plus it can help reduce medical costs and the overall burden on family and friends. Learn 2 Live is the brainchild of Luchie Cawood, an experienced educationalist and ex principal and director of Eaton House Schools in London. Luchie has personal experience of the devastation a child’s mental ill-health can have and as a result began the development of Learn 2 Live in 2021. She is determined that families get the help they need when they nd themselves with nowhere to turn and has established a bursary programme to widen access to the clinic’s programme. Commenting on this announcement, Luchie said: “My vision to build Learn 2 Live comes from my own experiences of trying to find an appropriate level of mental health provision for a member of my own family and failing to do so. It is clear that there is a desperate need to provide a circuit-break for young people who are unable to build their self-esteem and their resilience through existing care in the community. Our aim is to give our young people the tools that they need to thrive in the wider world.” For further information about Learn 2 Live, visit: learn2liveyouthclinic.com/ e New Forest Branch of Parkinson’s UK welcome all Parkinson’s people and their Carers to join a fun chair based exercise class with the emphasis on functional tness, followed by co ee, biscuits and chat. e classes are held Tuesday mornings at 10.30am at the Boldre War Memorial Hall, Pilley, SO41 5QG. £3 per session (Carers free).
