Today we look at the humour of young people, the fresh wave of year 7s coming up into youth groups this Autumn, our word of the month and changes affecting those thinking about higher education. 

A 10% increase in counselling sessions about exam stress since the pandemic? This month in Youth Updates, Beth and Hannah discuss this NSPCC article as well as decoding the world of AI and ChatGPT alongside which artists are doing huge arena tours garnering a huge following online. Not forgetting our usual word of the month - give it a listen!

Join Beth as she asks 3 guests to unpack their answer to the question 'If you could go back in time to when you were a young person, what would you tell yourself?', exploring what they would say and how it links to young people today. And, of course, there's also our word of the month (with the intro sung beautifully by one of our guests!)

Join us as we talk about Andrew Tate, reflections from a festival, our word of the month and a run down of some basic social media terms!

Join us as we welcome a special guest, Rebecca, to chat about being a young adult in church and that key transition from youth to 'grown up' church. Alongside this we chat about the 'Prime' drink craze, Tiktok's new safety features and our word of the month!

Join Hannah and Beth as they unpack some reports on bullying and young people in the cost of living crisis, alongside talking about notable moments from the awards season so far and what 'the ick' is.

We are kicking off the new year in the best way we can possibly imagine – with a We Are Tearfund Takeover! Join us as we chat to Lian about the topic of racial injustice, the refugee crisis and being a leader in justice and what this means for young people and what they can do. We also hear from voices of young people and young adults on these topics too. You don’t want to miss it!

This time, Hannah and Beth are joined by two young people who give their thoughts on everything from the best part of Christmas dinner, whether their generation is obsessed with the digital world and what they want youth-workers to know!

Join us in our latest podcast where we talk about some contentious points of late regarding the Qatar world cup and Ye's wide-scale cancellation. Alongside this we talk about Taylor Swift's latest album which has taken the pop world by storm and of course, our world famous word of the month. 

Join Beth and Hannah as they kick off season 2 of Youth Updates. Of course, word of the month has returned alongside looking at the new Year 7's that have entered the youth-work world, Halloween and the rise of vaping!
