Mental Health

You don't have to struggle in silence...

Mental Health can be quite difficult to define because a person’s mental health issues, types of problems and the impact these have upon their life, family and friends are individual and specific to them. In other words, no two mental health problems will be experienced or managed in the same way. Here are some useful links which can provide guidance and support.
KOOTH: 

Kooth is an online mental wellbeing community that provides free, safe, and anonymous support for children and young people aged between 11-25 in Derby and Derbyshire.

At Kooth, we have a number of tools to support you if you need advice, counselling or simply are not feeling your best. You can chat to our team live or via messages, write in your own daily journal, visit our discussion boards to start or join a conversation with our friendly Kooth community, and read helpful articles, personal experiences, and tips from young people and our Kooth team.
