Who Can Help Me?

Talking and thinking about your mental wellbeing is important. In almost all situations the best people to support children’s mental wellbeing, are those closest to them. It is important for all children to have a key trusted adult. This is an adult that they are close to, who can support them, and who they feel comfortable to ask for help. For some children this may be a parent or family members, for others it may be a teacher or an adult in the community e.g. sports coach or a club organiser. Have a think about who this might be in your life, these are some examples.

What is happening/ has happened to you for you to feel this way?

 What there anything happening in your life right now?
