CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH
Children's Mental Health Week takes place in February each year. There is a great website dedicated to this (see useful links) awareness initiative.
According to the children's charity Place2Be, "1 in 6 children and young people have a diagnosable mental health problem, and many more struggle with challenges from bullying to bereavement".
​
What is vital is that children and young people (and the people who care for them) have help and understand they aren't alone. Use our resources or book a call to see how your child or young person can be better supported, no matter what issues they are facing.
​
I can help to build a picture, understand the concerns and challenges and provide some genuinely valuable ways to feel more positive.
