New resource to support emotional health

Worried about your child's behaviour or emotional wellbeing and not sure what's normal? Wondering whether to go and see your GP?

HappyMaps is a new website for parents and carers with reliable and up-to-date resources on emotional health for your children. The information covers the South West of England and aims to signpost you to books, websites and parent groups so you can find advice and support for you and your child, teenager or young adult. There are details of crisis services and counselling support too.

Devon Integrated Children’s Services (ICS): School staff and parents are encouraged to access the ICS Single Point of Access by phone (0330 024 5321) or look on the website (www.devon.integratedchildrensservices.co.uk) for any queries regarding the services, or referrals
