The Covid 19 pandemic has caused a great deal of stress and anxiety. Those who have lost loved ones know only too well how deeply distressing it has been not being able to be with them when they need them most. It has been extremely painful not being allowed to attend hospital or the funeral to say a last goodbye.
Covid 19 has affected us all. Many are anxious, worried and fearful not knowing how to cope with gradual easing of restrictions. Students have been particularly hit hard by the pandemic.
Remote learning, not seeing friends, a lack of normality has negatively affected many.
A quarter of teenagers have self-harmed according to recent data https://www.youthscape.co.uk/ but that is the tip of the iceberg. Far too many do not disclose for fear of upsetting their family and friends.
