What support is available to parents and carers to help them maintain their family's wellbeing?

Social connections, alongside exercise, sleep, diet and routine, are important protective factors for mental health. Materials to promote and support mental wellbeing are included in the list of online resources the government have published to help children to learn at home. Public Health England’s Rise Above platform supports young people. Social isolation, reduced exercise, and bereavement, may affect children’s wellbeing in this period. Resources to promote and support children and young people’s mental wellbeing include:

MindEd educational resources for adults about children and young people’s mental health, which is relevant for parents and carers as well as volunteers, teachers, and other professionals working with children

the Every Mind Matters platform which supports looking after your own and other’s mental health guidance on looking after wellbeing and mental health during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak guidance on supporting children’s wellbeing and mental health

All NHS mental health trusts are setting up 24/7 helplines, and seeking to use digital and virtual channels, to continue delivering support during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The BBC's Own It app helps young people new to social media manage their well-being, whilst empowering children to make smart choices, and helping them to lead a positive life online. Further information can be found here: https://www.bbc.com/ownit/take-control/own-it-app
