Free helpline for parents

I work for a charity called YoungMinds and I wanted to tell fellow HOLers, especially parents, about our really useful helpline - free to all - that you might like to call or tell your friends about.

The YoungMinds Parents’ Helpline gives free confidential advice to any UK adult concerned about the emotional problems or behaviour of a child or young person up to the age of 25. The number is 0808 802 5544 (free from mobiles and landlines), and lines are open weekdays 9.30am-4pm. You can email parents@youngminds.org.uk anytime for advice or chat online weekdays 11am-1pm. Find out more at www.youngminds.org.uk/parents

Trained helpline advisers can provide further information and explore concerns. They can also arrange for a clinical mental health specialist to call parents and offer advice.

So - spread the word.
