Supporting Physical and Mental Wellbeing

Young people who are accessing the neurodevelopmental team for further assessment may also experience issues with regards to their mental health. There is evidence to suggest that young people with neurodevelopmental profiles can also experience things such as: anxiety, low mood, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviour to name a few. Even those young people who do not necessarily get a formal diagnosis may well experience issues with regards to their mental health. Please be mindful that not all young people will experience mental health difficulties.

Our Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Service has its own website with information and advice to help with physical and mental wellbeing. Find out more about emotional wellbeing & mental health, the services we offer and how to access them, as well as some resources and advice you might find useful.
