Students
Feeling anxious? You’re not alone – and there are loads of ways to feel calmer and more in control. Everyone's different, so it’s about finding what works best for you.
Talk
Talk to a friend, someone at home – or look for staff wearing the ‘I’m here’ badge. It means they’re a safe person to go to if you’re feeling anxious, low or just need someone to listen.
Apps
Here are some great free apps out there designed to help you look after your mental health. They’ve got simple tools to help you manage stress, handle tough emotions, and learn more about what’s going on in your mind.
Text
Worried about something? Text ChatHealth on 07520 615 721 – it's free, confidential, and just for 11–19s. Get advice on anything – bullying, relationships, stress, health, and more. Open Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm (even during school holidays!)
Young Minds
Young Minds have a range of information, advice as well as resources including things like wellbeing activities, toolkits and webinars to help support young people.
Further support
If things feel overwhelming, you’re struggling to cope, or you’re worried about your own mental health (or someone close to you) there are people who can help.
If you feel you may benefit from some training, please speak to your child’s school’s mental health lead or check our upcoming training with StayWell.
