I Stand Connected: You have a story. Your story holds a purpose.

By Oly Newton

He was the kid at the back of the class making animal noises because his brain wouldn't sit still.

The one with a head full of thoughts he was trying to disprove.

The one who masked what he was carrying because he thought nobody would understand.

He was wrong. Loads of young people were carrying the same thing, in silence.

I Stand Connected is the book he wishes someone had put in his hands when he was younger.

Part One is his story. The years he lost.

The people who reached him. The way back.

Part Two is yours. Five simple moves.

He calls them STAND

See yourself.

Tell the truth.

Ask for help.

Notice others.

Do hard things.

You don't have to do them all at once. Just start with one.

You are not alone. You are not broken.

Your story is not finished.

There's a book for the adults around you too.

It's called Connect Before You Correct.

Two books. Two readers. One mission.

OLY NEWTON was one of those young people once.

He spent years hiding what was going on inside his head, and later lost a decade of his adult life to OCD.

He came back the long way round.

Now he speaks so the next kid doesn't have to lose those years too.

He has told his story to close to 100,000 young people across educational institutions and organisations across the UK and beyond.

For young people carrying things nobody around them knows
