RHS portlet MHH - what yp found helps

What young people have found helps them

Research and tests are useful, but it won’t tell us everything. Here are some positive things that young people say help them when they are feeling sad or worried.

  • Talking to their pet
  • Eating nice food or chocolate
  • Having a hug
  • Listening to music
  • Writing things down
  • Go for a run
  • Make a list of all the things to look forward to in the future

What we think

We agree that there are things that we can all do to help ourselves. Having a good diet, exercise, and feeling that people understand and care for us can all help. But, there might be times when we need more help.

Conduct disorder

We all do things that other people think are wrong sometimes. If this behaviour is very bad, and continues over a long time then it might be described as a conduct disorder.

The type of help you will be offered will depend on your age, what your difficulties are and how serious they are.

NICE* offers guidance outlining how parents of children under 12 may be offered help and support to think about and change their own and their child’s behaviour.

Further Information
