Emotional and mental health and wellbeing

Parents and carers play an important role in teaching children and young people how to understand and manage their feelings as they grow up.

A young person’s mental health and wellbeing can change all the time. Because of this, it can help to check in regularly and make time for young people to talk about how they're feeling. You don't have to wait until they're struggling.

In the event of a young person in crisis or need for urgent support dial 999

The ‘How you Feel Matters’ graphic uses the Thrive Framework to support young people to access support at the differing levels of need. The information can be accessed here and disseminated to young people.
