I came across the wonderful MindEd website when exploring the new Somerset Mental Health Toolkit for Children and Young People .... Written by experts in child and mental health, Mind Ed provides simple, clear guidance on mental health to adults who work with children and young people including teachers, health and social care staff, counsellors, community workers, police and youth offending officers, faith groups, sports coaches, volunteers and many more.... Mind Ed signposts information about services and therapies available to help children and young people with health issues and reviews online therapies for common conditions such as depression or anxiety.

The Somerset Mental Health Toolkit provides support to schools, colleges and Somerset 'getset' services about mental health and emotional health and wellbeing. It brings together key information and recommended websites for staff working with children and young people in Somerset.

Attached below is a recently written National Guidance on Mental Health and Behaviour in Schools plus a Link to the Youth in Mind Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Further links to documents and information are found within the Mental Health Toolkit.
