London’s digital mental wellbeing service, Good Thinking, has made a handy guide for parents to help guide their children through uncertain times.

They have also brought together a collection of resources to do with children to help them manage their wellbeing.

To mark World Book Day 2021, Thrive LDN is delighted to be working with the authors and illustrators of Chicken Legs’ Arroyo and Ruby’s Worry to bring together a double book reading.

The two stories are designed to support young children (aged 3 – 7 years old) and parents discuss childhood worries and anxieties, no matter how big or small they may be.

The book readings will be available to watch on Thursday, 4 March at 10am. You can register your interest and receive updates about the book readings using the Eventbrite form below.
