Help for Children and Young People
Have a look at the resources and links available towards the bottom of the Stairways page. We have been collecting a list of digital resources (including apps and websites) that are helping children and young people with their mental health and emotional wellbeing. These resources are further categorised by their intended audience, be it children and young people themselves or schools etc. and are available here.
In the context of Coronavirus, this comic can help explain what it is. For those supporting children and young people with special education needs (SEN), this guide from Hull City Council to loss and bereavement will be of interest. Additionally, in the context of COVID-19 these tips on handwashing will be useful.
