Support

It’s important to take care of you before you can effectively take care and support others.

Sharing your problems (whether you’re a child or an adult) with someone really helps, so chat to a trusted person in your life that you feel safe talking to. Talk to a parent, caregiver, family member, friend or friend’s parent, teacher, coach, colleague, your doctor, a mental health professional or psychologist (all public schools should have access to a child psychologist) or for those in the workforce, you can access your free Employee Assistance Program provider. Online programs, chat and support groups and self-help books, sites and apps can also be great ways to keep your mental health in mind.

Or if you want someone else to talk to, you can contact the following help services at any time, for free.
