How to talk to your child about Coronavirus

We have put together some useful tips that will help you talk to your child about Coronavirus or COVID-19.

Coronavirus and your family if you are a racial minority

You might have seen on the news that racial minorities in the UK have been at higher risk of coronavirus. If you are a racial minority and have read about this, it might have made you worried for yourself, family, friends or your community.

Psychological wellbeing advice: coping through shielding

If you are someone who was or is shielding due to COVID-19, you might be working through adjusting through the ‘new normal’ - a term floating around a lot on social media, the news, and possibly amongst your friends and family too.

Managing our Mood During Challenging Times

Managing our mood can be difficult, especially during uncertain times. We can often become overwhelmed, and sometimes find it hard to know where to turn for support. It can be helpful to try and understand our mood to establish if we might need support, and what type of support it is we need.

Protecting your daughter from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

Some people might be experiencing pressures and stress in the family home during lockdown, especially if members of your family or community have been affected by or support the practice of female genital mutilation, or ‘FGM’.
