Supporting young people’s mental health

Understanding and looking after mental wellbeing is just as important as taking care of physical health and a good habit to develop as early as possible


For young people navigating school, exams, friendships, and future choices, it’s particularly important to give them tools to manage their worries, build confidence and make decisions that set them up for success. 

Good mental health and wellbeing improves the ability to learn and engage to help pupils achieve and thrive in education, ultimately setting them up for life and work. When young people’s mental wellbeing is supported, they are more likely to; 

  • attend school regularly

  • develop key life skills, particularly social and emotional skills

  • engage in learning

  • achieve academically

  • have better long-term outcomes, such as future employment

Mental health is a priority topic for the Warwickshire Youth Council and they group recently recorded a podcast  about some of the issues young people face and where support can be found.  

Young people in Warwickshire have access to a range of support services, including:  

  • Warwickshire Rise Service - Offers comprehensive support for all children and young people 

  • Kooth – Free, anonymous online counselling and wellbeing support for young people (www.kooth.com) 

  • Childline – A confidential helpline offering support and advice (www.childline.org.uk or call 0800 1111) 

  • YoungMinds – Mental health information and crisis support for young people (www.youngminds.org.uk) 

  • Support in schools – Many schools have pastoral leads, counsellors, or wellbeing services where young people can get help 

  • Warwickshire County Council – Find health and wellbeing information as well as links to family support and related service areas at www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wellness 

To hear more about mental health and how to support yourself or a friend, listen to the latest episode of Let’s Talk Warwickshire – Voices of Tomorrow: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-aqzzf-17f753e 

As part of Warwickshire County Council’s commitment to being a child friendly county, the Set for the Future campaign is equipping young people with the information and support they need to get through exams, plan their next steps, and thrive. A key part of this is making sure they have the tools to look after their mental health and seek help when needed. 

By making mental wellbeing a priority, we can ensure young people feel supported, confident, and set for the future.

Spring 2025 COVID-19 Vaccinations

People aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system will be offered a dose of coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine this spring

Who is being offered a spring vaccine?

COVID-19 is more serious in older people and in people with certain underlying health conditions. For these reasons, people aged 75 years and over, those in care homes for older adults, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system are being offered a spring dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

If you are turning 75 years of age between April and June, you do not have to wait until your birthday, you can attend when you are called for vaccination.

Which vaccine will you be offered?

You will be given a booster dose of a vaccine made by Pfizer or Moderna and approved in the UK. These vaccines have been updated since the original vaccines and target a different COVID-19 variant. These updated vaccines boost protection well, and give slightly higher levels of antibody against the more recent strains of COVID-19 (Omicron).

St Wulfstan Surgery Covid Vaccination clinic dates:

Saturday 5th April - 8am - 2:30pm

Friday 25th April - 5pm - 7pm

Saturday 26th April 8am - 2:30pm

Invitations will be sent to all eligible patients in the next few days. Don’t hesitate! Vaccinate!
