Story Time

Do you sit down with your parents or carers and read books?

It’s a lovely way to bond and can also be a great time to talk, especially if you choose certain books. Here are some that might spark a conversation about feelings after you’ve read them.

As well as sharing your own thoughts and feelings, you could also encourage others to talk about their worries. First, make sure your friends know they can talk to you and that you’ll listen.

You can also talk to your teachers about making time to talk at school a priority. Perhaps they could have assemblies or classroom activities to explain the importance of talking about mental health.
