Anna Freud Centre

The Anna Freud Centre have prepared excellent resources for self-care over the summer holidays to help children, young people and their parents/carers. 

Since the lockdown started back in March 2020, the impact on mental health and wellbeing for all has been significant. Vulnerable children and young people would need all the help they could get to come back to education in September with a sense of wellbeing. This resource is easily accessible and there is a crises contact line families could use.
