Your Mental Health
Many young people can experience concerns about their mental health throughout their childhood. Being able to talk to someone about how we feel can be an important first step. This could be your parents/carers, someone else in your family, friends or your teachers. The Newcastle Safeguarding Partnership has provided some links to useful sources of information and local services who may be able to provide help and support.
