Emotional Health and Wellbeing
Lots of students get support from their school when they51ÁÔÆæ™re going through a tough time. Young people can speak to anyone working in school about anything that51ÁÔÆæ™s bothering them, whether it51ÁÔÆæ™s school related or something different.
Feeling distressed or unhappy from time to time is normal, however if these feelings are persistent or are causing a lot of worry for a person you are concerned about then you may need to seek professional help.
In Calderdale, young people and schools have a range of services including peer support, family support and counselling that can help.

Young Carers
Calderdale Young Carers Service offers a Young Carers Assessment to all young carers referred to the service. This assessment helps identify the best plan of support for the young carer and their family. Because members of the family usually have different needs, the Young Carers Service works with a lot of other organisations to increase the chance of getting the best possible support for the family.
