Welcome to the Healthy Schools Bedfordshire essential guide to emotional health and wellbeing for children and young people.

The purpose of this guide is to provide information, help and resources on emotional wellbeing for those who come into contact with children and young people. This includes school staff, parents and other professionals. There is also a growing section offering guidance on mental health issues for children and young people themselves. There are four main sections to the site:

• Bedford TAMHS pages – this section offers help for parents as well as information for schools working as part of the Bedford Targeted Mental Health in Schools scheme.
• Advice for school staff – Guidance on how to build an emotionally healthy school as well as practical help for children and young people experiencing specific difficulties.
• Advice for parents on how best to deal with your childs behaviour and emotions, as well as help for you.
• Advice and help for children and young people to use – such as links to websites.

• What is emotional wellbeing?
• Why teach emotional well being?
