Winter bugs and viruses are usually mild, but can sometimes become more serious. It can be hard to know what to do when your baby or child is ill and when you can manage this at home or need to see a doctor or nurse for more help.

We have put together information about keeping your family well this winter, as well as help on finding agencies and schemes that can provide support if you are struggling and tips for staying warm.

If you have difficulties in your family, or if you are worried about your children, there are people who can support you.

Early help is about giving information, advice and guidance to families. We want to help as soon as difficulties start. This is to prevent family worries growing into bigger issues.

We can help any family with a child or young person up to 18-years-old (25 for young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities). We also can help with the worries adults may have, such as finances or mental health, which may impact on the children.

How we can help

We have a family hubs approach in Norfolk. All families can get access to services and support in the community, face-to-face and online.
Learn about family hubs support
Ask for early help support

You might need more dedicated support to help things improve. Our early help professionals can advise and support you.

Worried about self-harm? Check our Calm Harm

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Calm Harm is an award-winning app funded by teenage mental health charity stem4, to help manage the urge to self-harm. It was developed by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Nihara Krause MBE, in collaboration with young people and uses principles from an evidence-based psychological treatment called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

The urge to self-harm is like a wave. It feels the most powerful when you start wanting to do it.

Learn to ride the wave with the Calm Harm app by choosing activities from these categories:
, , Express Yourself , , and .

There is also a breathing exercise to help you be mindful and stay in the moment, regulate difficult emotions, and reduce tension.

When you ride the wave, the urge to self-harm will fade.

The Calm Harm app provides some immediate activities and techniques to help you break the cycle of self-harm behaviour and explore underlying trigger factors; the app supports you in building a 'safety net' of helpful thoughts, behaviours, and access to supportive people, as well as providing the opportunity to journal and self-reflect. The Calm Harm app also signposts to help.

The app is private, anonymous, and safe.

Please note that the Calm Harm app is not a substitute for the assessment and individualised treatment by a health or mental health professional.

Our app is for young people over the age of 13.

What is Dyslexia? - The Dyslexia Association

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Dyslexia occurs across the range of intellectual abilities. It is best thought of as a continuum, not a distinct category, and there are no clear cut-off points. Co-occurring difficulties may be seen in aspects of language, motor coordination, mental calculation, concentration and personal organisation, but these are not, by themselves, markers of dyslexia. A good indication of the severity and persistence of dyslexic difficulties can be gained by examining how the individual responds or has responded to well-founded intervention.

Like 'Help for Dyscalculia'

Ronit Bird's approach to teaching numeracy - and the idea that drives all her books - is that we should be teaching for understanding, in a hands-on and multisensory way, and not through rote-learning or memorised procedures. Working with concrete and highly visual materials, such as Cuisenaire rods, is an ideal way to explore numbers and the relationships between numbers in a way that enables children to discover facts for themselves and develop true conceptual understanding. Offering plenty of mathematical games is a good way of motivating children to spend time on those facts or topics that they need to practise, without their realising how much learning and reinforcement is happening as they play.

More about Ronit Bird.
