Mental health and young people

Where to get information from and who can help.

It can be very easy to get incorrect information online, particularly on social media. When looking for advice on social media you should try to avoid social media. Instead, you should look for information from trusted organisations. There are lots to choose from, but they could include:

• NHS
• NSPCC: child mental health and mental health and parenting
• Mind: Bucks Mind and Young Minds

Take a look at our support online or over the phone to get support from websites you can trust.

Social media can make anyone anxious, sad or overwhelmed at times. Childline has a page dedicated to 'Feeling good on social media'. They have lots of information and advice including:

• Ways to feel good on social media
• Coping with your mental health
• Thinking about what you share
• Being bullied on social media
