The past 6 months have been incredibly difficult and we have all been affected in one way or another. As we continue on with our ‘new normal’ and find ourselves entering another lockdown, your mental health and wellbeing is really important. I have put together a resource for you below to support you through these uncertain times, with some resources suitable to use with your children. Many of the resources listed below are free to access.
I hope you find this of some use. Nikita X |
