Speak to your child's class teacher, headteacher, pastoral lead, head of year, SENCo or safeguarding lead if you need help.  Some schools also have the Mental Health in Schools Programme - check to see if your school has and if you can access additional support.  Your child's school may also have an emotional literacy support assistant (ELSA) who can support your child with their emotional wellbeing.

Under the Lancashire and South Cumbria Foundation Trust, CAMHS help children, young people and their families when they are feeling sad, worried or troubled.
