Social and emotional wellbeing creates the foundations for healthy behaviours and educational attainment. It also helps prevent behavioural problems (including substance misuse) and mental health problems. That’s why it is important to focus on the social and emotional wellbeing of children and young people.

Emotional Health and Wellbeing covers the following areas: exploring what influences your self-esteem, different approaches to managing feelings, and mental health.
Overall Support
Time To Change
Just as we all have physical health, we have mental health too. And just as our bodies can become unwell, so can our minds.
