Good luck to all of our patients that are sitting exams!

GCSE exam season can be a challenging time - not just for young people, but for parents and carers too.

It’s normal for young people to feel stressed or anxious about exams, and your support can make a big difference. Knowing where to turn for advice can help you feel more confident in supporting them.

You can find helpful resources, tips, and local mental health support services by clicking the link in the comments.

Maternal or perinatal mental health is the term used to talk about the mental health of people in the time during pregnancy and up to two years after they give birth.

It can be a hugely vulnerable time. Su***de continues to be the leading cause of direct maternal death between 6 weeks and 12 months after birth.

We want you to know that if you’re in this time of your life and you’re finding it really tough, we see you and we are here to listen to you without judgement on 116 123.
