Mental Health and Wellbeing Support for Children 

Coronavirus has plunged the world into uncertainty and the constant news about the pandemic can feel relentless. All of this is taking its toll on people's mental health, particularly those already living with conditions like anxiety and OCD. 

We have created the information below to signpost our families to a fantastic website that provides online courses, to help you support your child's emotional health and wellbeing.
