Resources
The children we see might be struggling with a range of difficulties such as: difficulties in relationships (e.g. at home, with peers or with teachers); they may have experienced loss or trauma; or may experience a lack of confidence, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety or worry.
CAMHS Early Help (Trailblazer and CWP teams) have been developing a number of videos for parents, teens and school staff on a range of mental health and wellbeing topics. The link to the YouTube channel is below and we are also adding new videos regularly.
