TikTok: Social Media Youth Trends and Co-Designing Content This training is designed to equip charities with the knowledge and confidence to effectively use TikTok.

(English below) Am braf oedd cael treulio amser yn yr EVI ar gyfer diwrnod staff wythnos ddiwethaf. Mae ProMo yn gwarchod ac yn cynnal Institiwt Glyn Ebwy, ac felly yn bachu ar y cyfle i gael mynd draw i ymweld â'r adeilad bob hyn a hyn.

"Braf yw cael gweld pawb i sgwrsio a dathlu'r holl waith sydd yn digwydd yn ProMo," rhannodd aelod o'r tîm.

Cafwyd sawl gweithgaredd hwylus yn ystod y dydd:

🥂 Dathlu Marco: Cyfle i godi gwydraid a stwffio ein hwynebau â theisen i ddathlu Marco wrth iddo gamu i swydd newydd yn dilyn 27 mlynedd yn arwain. Roedd llawer o chwerthin (ac ambell ddeigryn) wrth wylio fideo yn dathlu'r holl flynyddoedd gyda nifer o atgofion hapus a negeseuon gan y tîm.

🎉 Croesawu ein harweinyddiaeth newydd: Croesawyd Arielle a Cindy yn swyddogol i'w swyddi newydd fel Prif Weithredwyr ar y Cyd

💪 Cydweithio Tîm: Cawsom weithgaredd creadigol yn edrych ar sut rydym yn cyfathrebu'r holl waith eang sydd yn digwydd yn ProMo yn allanol

Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb oedd yn rhan o greu diwrnod mor arbennig!

It was brilliant to bring the ProMo Cymru team together last week for our all-staff day at the Ebbw Vale Institute (EVI)! As custodians and operators of EVI, it’s always wonderful to spend time in the space and see everything going on there.

One team member shared: "It was great to see everyone, catch up, and celebrate all the amazing work we do”

The day was filled with milestone moments for ProMo:

🥂 Celebrating Marco: We raised a glass (and had some cake) to celebrate Marco as he steps into a new position after 27 years as CEO. We watched a celebration video with photos and heartfelt messages from the team

🎉 Welcoming our new leadership: We officially welcomed Cindy and Arielle into their new positions as co-CEOs, as they lead ProMo into its next chapter

💪 Team collaboration: We also took some time to work together on a creative exercise exploring how we communicate the wide range of work we do to others

A huge thank you to everyone who made the day so special and contributed to the celebrations!

We’re sharing some important findings from a recent national research project that looked into how mental health crisis services work for children and young people (CYP) 🔎

Meic was chosen as a case study, and the results highlight why accessible support matters so much!

What makes Meic work for young people?
✅ No waiting lists or formal referrals
✅ Choice of how to get in touch (text, online chat, WhatsApp message, or phone call)
✅ A safe, anonymous space to talk as often as needed

The research shows that by offering this kind of open-access support, Meic provides stability for CYP when things feel overwhelming. Meic acts as an early intervention service, helping CYP navigate the system and get help the moment they need it.

This aligns with the new 10-year mental health strategy for Wales, which aims to make same-day support a reality for everyone.

A big thank you to the young people and Meic staff who shared their experiences to help make this research possible ✨
