Resources
Free guides and workbooks for professionals, parents, young people and others interested in mental and emotional wellbeing.
All resources are available as free downloads and some are available as printed copies. Hard copies can be ordered from our online shop.
Please note that resources are processed once a week by one of our office volunteers. We are taking care to follow government guidance and this means that there may be some delays in orders being dispatched.
Listed below are our resources for those caring for or working with young people, and managers and others in the workplace. We have lots more information and practical advice about mental health in our Information section.
