Helpful Support and Resources

CAMHS RESOURCES
This site was created for young people, carers and professionals to pool lots of helpful resources from across the internet that are available to help support your mental health and well-being.

• Self-help guides – free downloadable booklets with tips and ideas. Some are written for adults, but many of the suggestions can still be helpful for young people and families.
• Apps – designed to support your mental health and wellbeing. Click on the image to go straight to the app’s website.
• Videos – covering loads of different topics around looking after your mental health and wellbeing.

FAMILY/CARER SUPPORT
Everyone has the right to get support from another person to help express their views and wishes (for example, at a healthcare appointment). This person is called an advocate.
Advocates can be helpful if you:
• find it difficult to make your views known
• need other people to listen to you and take your views into account

 If you’re a young carer, or you’re supporting someone else, Carers UK offers advice, information, and a safe community where you don’t have to feel alone. They’re also a charity that campaigns for better support for carers across the UK. Take a look here: www.carersuk.org
