FAMILY SUPPORT AND INFORMATION

Please see below a range of health, wellbeing, financial and family support links:

Warwickshire School Health & Wellbeing Service
In a year of uncertainty and upheaval, it’s no surprise that many families are facing difficulties in their daily lives. Children and young people may be feeling anxious, frustrated, sad, stressed and many other difficult emotions, which may contribute to wider issues such as sleep disorders, substance misuse and challenging behaviour. 

While it’s not unusual to be dealing with these problems, that doesn’t mean they can be ignored if they are impacting on your or your child’s wellbeing, or that families have to go through this alone; help is here when you need it. https://www.compass-uk.org/news/parents/help-at-christmas/
