The child or young person may have mild or temporary difficulties with their mental health or have fluctuating or ongoing difficulties that they are currently self-managing. There is a need to share information that will help the individual and their family find the best way of supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
They may have:
have mild/temporary difficulties with mental health
be self-managing ongoing difficulties
have experienced a panic attack for the first time
have an unexplained absence from school or another setting they usually attend
be having friendship difficulties
be struggling with a school transition
be feeling things are ‘too much’
have recently experienced or be experiencing a traumatic event
At this stage, the child or young person can still benefit from support at the universal level such as signposting, self-management, and one-off contacts
