The booklet was designed for 14 to 17 year-olds year olds and addresses out the facts

 

  • 1 in 4 people will have some sort of problem with their mental health at some time
  • Anyone can be affected
  • They dont usually last forever or make you violent
  • They can be treated - just like problems with your physical health
     
HEADstuff
  
 It was designed in consultation with young people and aims to
 
  • challenge their perceptions of mental health problems
  • increase their knowledge of mental health problems and mental health issues
  • provide help on what to do if they are worried about themselves or a friend.
