Knowing your mental health

29th March 202122nd April 2021 Westbourne Advice, Children, Education support, Help, Mental Health, Young People
One in 10 young people
experience mental health
difficulties, that’s three in every
classroom. When someone faces
struggles with their mental health, it’s no
fault of their own. Mental health issues do
not discriminate and can affect anybody
no matter what their life is like.
If you or somebody you know wants to
talk about any thoughts or feelings
you don’t understand, there is always
someone who will listen.
It’s so important that we feel
able to discuss our issues, and there’s
absolutely no shame in doing so.
Childline is a free and confidential helpline that
anyone under 19 can contact to talk about any issues or
worries they have, big or small.
