MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT - information to share with parents

As we look forward to school holidays, we recognise that some children, young people, families may be finding things tough right now. We want you to know where you can go to get some ideas to help with your wellbeing, or get advice, support, or help at this time.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

If your child tells you they are struggling with their mental health or if you suspect this, you should always contact your GP for support and advice.
