This May Help
This May Help is a new national initiative providing mental health advice to parents and carers being launched by Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership. The website gives easy-to-follow advice to help families manage their child’s mental health. This advice was developed by NHS professionals and parents who’ve been through their own child’s mental health journey. Parents and carers have shared advice that helped them and that may also help other families.
The advice covered on This May Help includes: self-harm, gaming and online activity, teenagers safety, eating disorders, school avoidance, understanding mental health, understanding teenagers, online threats, building rapport, building resilience, building a support network, self-care tips, managing an emergency, managing in a crisis, and preparing for a children and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) appointment. These subjects were chosen by families and young people who have gone through their own mental health challenges. Gary Lineker, Myleene Klass, and Tanni Grey-Thompson are amongst 16 presenters featured in the films.

Zone of regulation – helping children to manage their feelings and emotions.
To support pupils since lockdown (and in school more generally) we have taken on approach called Zones of Regulation. Please see the additional downloadable information sheets below. We wanted you to have this important information as children will talk about the colours and what this means in terms of helping them to manage their feelings and emotions. You can also find more information here: https://www.zonesofregulation.com/learn-more-about-the-zones.html
