The well-being group, led by pupils themselves, have worked very hard to create some helpful information for young people to signpost where to go if they feel that they need support.

There are adults in school who can help, but if you would like to try to support yourself in the first instance, then these organisations may be able to help. Always remember that no issue is too small and if you are worrying about something then seek support!
