Today is known as “Blue Monday”, which is thought to be the most depressing day of the year. But in reality, it was made up by a travel company to sell holidays. At Red Balloon, we know that mental health doesn't care what day it is. We support our young people and their wellbeing all year long.

January can be a tough month for many. The holidays are over, the days are dark, and we go back to work or school. It's hard to leave the joy of the holidays behind and step into midwinter. This is just a reminder that you're not alone. You got this.

The clock strikes midnight, and a new year begins. It’s a time brimming with hope and possibility—a clean slate inviting us to dream big and start fresh. But amid the frenzy of goal-setting, how often do we pause to consider the impact these resolutions have on our mental health?
