Is your child struggling with difficult thoughts or feelings? Whether you’re a parent, carer, or guardian, it's important that you're able to support the young person in your life – and we’re here to help. Here you will find expert advice and tips, as well as a summary of the mental health support we offer. Some support you may be able to ask to access yourself. This is called self-referral. Other times, a GP, teacher, or social worker will need to request this support for you.
