Tough Times

Bereavment drawingLife is tough, and certain situations are difficult to handle, not only for children, but also for their families and teachers. It can be especially difficult to support your child when you are feeling sad, angry or vulnerable yourself – in the middle of a divorce, for example, or after the death of a close relative.

Each section has background information, based on the latest research, and links to some of the excellent resources that are now available online. There are many thousands of websites and directories relating to the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children. In choosing a few to list here, we have focused on sites which provide generic (rather than country specific) information, and sites which have their own extensive directories of resources. Partnership for Children, though, takes no responsibility for the content of these other sites.
