Resources
We are pleased to recommend some resources and apps that we have found make a positive difference to children and young people’s moods:
| Think Ninja |
|---|
| Think Ninja is a great app and it is presently free for 10 - 18 year olds. It is easy to download and has proved helpful in raising mood, calming the mind and understanding mental health. |
| Isle of Wight Local Offer |
| The Isle of Wight Local Offer is a useful website if you are looking for local support and information. It is run by the Isle of Wight Council and is organised into age groups. |
| MindEd For Families |
| MindEd For Families is an online resource centre for learning more about mental health and for signposting you to targeted information. |
| Children's mental health | Every Mind Matters | One You |
| Children's mental health | Every Mind Matters | One You is an NHS / Public Health England funded website with excellent parent pages (especially with regard to the Covid context) |
| Anna Freud |
| The Parents and carers (annafreud.org) section on the Anna Freud website is brilliant and we highly recommend a read. It is full of up to date information and advice. |
| Isle of Wight Youth Trust |
| The Isle of Wight Youth Trust is a free counselling service that supports many young people and organises island based events and strategies. Ryde School is subscribed to its Mental Health Charter. |
