Our mental health is part of our overall wellbeing. When we need support with our emotional wellbeing and mental health, it's about getting the right support at the right time.
This portal has been developed for school/setting staff and other practitioners, to help support the different levels of children and young people's (CYP) emotional wellbeing and mental health needs. The portal provides a range of advice, guidance, resources, and training opportunities that we hope you will find useful.
