      <description>Our mental health and wellbeing is extremely important. We can help ourselves feel as mentally healthy as possible but if we need more help, we need to know who else or what else might be able to support us. This information is for everyone.</description>

         <title>It is important to talk about worries that won’t go away.  Nearly always we get the best help from people who know us. Family, friends and sometimes teachers can help us problem solve and come up with a plan.</title>

         <title>We can also distract ourselves with tasks, activities or learning. So when worries and low feelings are around we can help ourselves by;   Connecting with others. Physical activity.          Focussing on something new.                                 Doing something for others.                                 </title>

         <title>No-one can be content and at ease all the time. It is a normal part of life to feel grumpy, down and worried. At these times it is important to remember that these feelings are normal and can give us helpful information. For example, feeling worried about something can help motivate us to problem solve and improve a situation.</title>
