Mental Health

We can all experience anxious feelings sometimes – it might be about exam results, a job interview or even who will win the final of a sports match.

Self-harm means any behaviour which involves the deliberate causing of pain or injury to oneself, usually as an extreme way of trying to cope with distressing or painful feelings.

For some young people, feelings of sadness and unhappiness outweigh their happy and excited emotions.

Experiencing stress is part of being alive. A small amount of stress, such meeting a challenge or deadline can actually be helpful. It can lead to increased alertness, energy and productivity.
