Children’s health and wellbeing 

The local authority teams provide advice and information on services and activities for children and young people, which can support them to improve their physical and or mental health, take a look at each area below

Children’s mental health

Good mental health allows us to cope with life’s ups and downs. If school is rubbish, you’re trying to figure out who you are and parents are stressing you out... then why wouldn’t you feel down about the world? But that’s really hard if it means you feel bad about yourself, lose confidence and can’t bounce back.

The #littlebluebookofsunshine explains some of the things you can do right now to feel better, or who to turn to if things feel too much. Download a copy to your phone from Apple books or Google Play books.
