The Young Minds Matter Gloucestershire team has developed a series of resources to help support parents during the current COVID-19 period.
Each booklet has been written specifically for parents to enable them to support their children and look after their own well-being.
1. Anxiety parent pack – helping your children cope with anxiety and COVID-19
2. Help for OCD workbook – parents and primary age children
3. Parent pack – Anxiety ASC & COVID-19
4. Parent pack – helping your teen with low mood
5. Keep safe – Lets talk about self harm
7. Talk to your kids about coronavirus
If you live in Gloucestershire and are aged 9-21, you can get support from our TIC+ counsellors. Although our Face-To-Face service is currently suspended, you can still get support and counselling online and through video and 1-2-1 text chat .
TIC+ works hard at raising funds so they can arrange for a counsellor to see you for free, all you need to do is call us on 01594 372777 or text us on 07520 634063 to arrange an appointment. We know it can be hard to take that first step but, like the other young people we’ve helped, you’ll be so glad you did.
If you need to speak to someone urgently, call Childline on 0800 1111, NHS 111 (on 111) or the Samaritans on 116 123. There’s always someone there to help, and any conversations you have with them are confidential.
