Wellbeing resource kit for parents

Please see the below link to the Every Mind Matters web based resource.

This is aimed at parents, not only to help you to support your children and young people with wellbeing issues but also to help seek guidance for yourselves. It includes material on how to support your children and signs to look for in relation to your child's mental health and wellbeing, particularly in the context of Covid-19.
