Mental health and wellbeing

Students are facing unprecedented challenges during the pandemic and lockdown. Parents and cares can play a vital role in supporting them through these difficult times.

Self-isolation can pose a particular problem and Public Health England has published new online guidance setting out principles to follow to help manage your mental health during this difficult time.

Key activities include:

• maintaining contact with friends and family via telephone and video calls, or social media

• keeping a regular routine and sleeping pattern

• focusing on a hobby or learning something new
