physical illness

Are you worried your child's physical illness may be affecting their emotional wellbeing or behaviour? Do you need to know where to get help and what to do next? YoungMinds is here to support you.

We've put together information about how physical illness in children can affect their mental health, especially for parents and carers, with lots of links to organisations who can help. We're also here to listen. If you want to talk to someone in confidence about your worries, you can contact the YoungMinds Parents' Helpline for free. You can call, email or chat to us online – whatever suits you best.
