Do you need some help?

Do you need some help?

If you’ve got a problem or are worried about someone you know, it can be hard to know what to do to make the situation better.

Are you worried about:

• abuse
• bullying
• family problems
• alcohol or drugs
• gangs
• abusive relationship
• school
• county lines
• sexual exploitation
• physical health
• mental health

Are you afraid to talk to anyone about your worries because you:

• are embarrassed
• are worried people may not take you seriously
• don’t trust anyone enough to talk to
• think people won’t understand

It can be hard to talk about your feelings, but some problems won’t go away if you ignore them. Talking to somebody can make you feel better and help make the situation better.

Could you talk to:

• a close friend
• your parent or carer
• another family member
• a doctor
• a youth worker
• a social worker
• a teacher
• a school nurse
• a police office
