Children and young people can often feel overwhelmed by their own emotions and by events going on around them. Their perceptions of the world, and themselves, can be affected by their struggles, which is why we feel it is vital to have support in place when needed. If a child or a young person knows that someone will listen, not dismiss them or judge them or tell them off, they will be much more likely to adopt a healthier attitude to mental health and self-care. It’s never too early to know that it’s OK not to be OK, so keep checking in with the young ones around you.
