Feelings

What they are

Talking about how we feel can be difficult and sometimes be the last thing we want to do. Understanding how we feel and why we feel certain ways can be seem complicated but it doesn’t need to be. Quite often just speaking about how we feel can help make things seem clearer and make more sense.

By learning to be resilient we increase our ability to cope with certain emotions in a much more positive way.

What to do

Kooth is a great website for children and young people where you can speak to experienced counsellors in a safe place online.

Identity

What it is

Young people can often find it difficult to understand and reveal their sexual orientation and identity to friends and family, and we understand that this can be a hugely confusing time. Below are some really helpful websites offering support and guidance:
