Dear Evan Hansen X The Mix💙 Dear Evan Hansen is proud to announce its partnership with @themixuk, the UK’s leading digital charity for under 25-year-olds. The show deals with sensitive topics relevant to young people today, and this partnership will ensure that anyone affected by the issues explored in the show knows where to find support. The Mix will provide training to the cast and creative team on how to appropriately respond to queries from the public, both online and offline, and equip them with the knowledge to direct individuals to the right support channels. The partnership also aims to create engaging and informative content to help elevate and empower young people at a time when they need it most. This will include resources and tips on essential life skills for transitioning into adulthood.

Everyone knows exams can be stressful but it's still crucial to acknowledge the immense pressure young people face during this time. The mental health of students is just as important as their academic achievements, yet it often takes a back seat in the pursuit of excellence. Here are some key ways we can support young people through this challenging period: 1. **Encourage Open Conversations**: Let’s create a safe space for students to express their feelings and concerns without judgment. A simple “How are you feeling?” can make a big difference. 2. **Promote Healthy Habits**: Emphasise the importance of regular sleep, balanced nutrition, and physical activity. These habits can significantly improve focus and reduce stress. 3. **Provide Resources**: Share information about mental health resources, we have lots at The Mix Charity. Knowing help is available can provide comfort and reassurance. 4. **Be Mindful of Pressure**: Encourage a balanced approach to exams. Remind students that their worth is not solely defined by their grades and that taking breaks and managing stress is essential for long-term success. 5. **Lead by Example**: Show empathy and understanding in our interactions. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or peer, your support can inspire confidence and resilience. Let's work together to create a supportive environment where young people can thrive both academically and emotionally.
