Starting Conversations: Children and Young People's Mental Health

Many young people experience emotional problems, varying from anxiety and depression, to eating disorders and relationship problems, not to mention the impact the covid pandemic has had. Sometimes just knowing how to start a conversation with a child or young person about their mental health or health in general can be daunting – “Am I going to say the wrong thing? Am I going to make it worse? Who do I go to for help?”.

We will be hosting our free community training: Starting conversations: children and young people’s mental health  online on Wednesday 24^th March, there will be a choice of two sessions at either 11am or 7pm, giving you the opportunity to attend to suit your schedule.

During the session a number of different local services that work with children and young people in Frome will be introduced, these include Kooth, Young Somerset, Mind in Somerset and many more. All the organisations provide services and support around mental health and they will outline the best ways to access their services and support.

You have the opportunity to attend anonymously, please sign up and you will not have to share your name or be on camera in the session. You will be able to submit questions during the session which will be followed up after the training.
