Well-being support for young people

IYP.jpg天涯社区鈥檚 Youth Service has recently carried out a joint consultation with Wrexham Youth Service to gauge the effects of Covid-19 on young people鈥檚 lives.听听

Young people across both Council areas have expressed concerns about their mental health, education, employment, and income.听

The pandemic has negatively affected social relationships for some young people with their friends and families. Young people feel the pandemic has affected their mental health greatly and they felt that they did not know where to go for help and advice during lockdowns.听

天涯社区鈥檚 Leader and Cabinet Member for Education and Youth, Councillor Ian Roberts, said:

鈥淚t鈥檚 important to point out that throughout the last 12 months, education, teachers and school staff have gone above and beyond to keep schools open for young people of key workers and deliver online teaching for young people.

鈥淗owever, it鈥檚 clear from the results of the survey, that young people don鈥檛 always know how or where to get support.听 To that end, the Youth Service has developed a leaflets for young people and professionals supporting them that will provide signposting and information to help.鈥

Please visit 天涯社区鈥檚 Youth Service webpage where you will find information, including links to both leaflets.
