Here are some websites where parents can get advice if they are concerned about their child:

www.youngminds.org.uk  – Young Minds are the leading children’s mental health charity. This website is useful for children (mainly the older children) but there is a designated section for parents and carers. You can also speak with a professional on here for further advice.

www.familylives.org.uk – On here you can find advice about a range of different things connected with family life, school, mental health and wellbeing.

www.mind.org.uk – Leading mental health charity where you can access information and advice from professionals.

www.mentalhealth.org.uk – Another one of the top mental health charities – here is a link for the parent/carer guide to supporting their child’s mental health.

Specifically for COVID-19

GOV.UK released this document for parents/carers to support their children through the current crisis. They released a partner document directly to use with children which is useful.
