Your health
How do you feel today?
Growing up can be difficult.
Everything’s changing. Sometimes
you feel like an adult and everyone around you is treating you
like a child. Sometimes you feel like a child and people are telling
you to ‘grow up’ and ‘act your age’. This
can leave you feeling confused… do you know who can help?
The Adolescent Mental Health Team offer help
and support to young people who are having emotional or mental
health difficulties.
This may be as simple as feeling sad, frightened, angry, worried
or depressed, or feeling like you can’t cope with life and
the future. If you feel like this, and want some help to start
feeling more positive again, the team may be able to help. To find
out more contact:
