Find mental health and emotional wellbeing information, advice, support and services for children and young people in South West London, and for parents, carers, teachers and people who work with young people.

You can access and use many of these services yourself, but to use some services you may need to be referred by a professional like a doctor or a teacher.

Use the drop down filters to help you find the help, advice and support you need. For example, you can find services to help you with feeling low, anxiety, eating disorders, sex, self harm and many more. You can also filter services by where you live or spend your time, in Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton or Wandsworth.

Don’t forget you can book an appointment with your GP or talk to someone at your school to get additional advice and support.
