Support for young people

Things to do, places to go and someone to talk to – information for young people.

All Together is here for you if you are looking for ways to have fun and meet other young people but we also know that being a teenager can be difficult at times so you’ll find links below to sources of support and advice as well as activities.

If you are struggling with your mental health whether that is not feeling yourself, struggling to cope with day-to-day life or having suicidal thoughts your doctor will be able to offer support. However, if you need further support and advice, please contact 0300 247 0090 (option 4) this is the contact number for children’s and young people mental health service.

Cool apps

Lots of us use Apps every day, whether it’s to message our friends or to edit photographs. But have you considered using apps on your phone to help improve your general wellbeing?

Just remember though that although these apps can be useful we still recommend speaking to a trusted adult or GP if you have concerns about any symptoms you are experiencing.

Mental health support for young people aged 5-18

This website has lots of information, practical tips and advice about supporting children and young people’s emotional wellbeing. We are here to help young people aged 5-18 registered with a GP in Wiltshire who are experiencing a range of early mental health difficulties through group work, activities in the community and counselling sessions for those young people who need more intensive support. We are also an all year round service and so our support does not stop in school holidays.
