Free webinars for parents and carers: supporting the wellbeing of young people before and after exam results day
Waiting on exam results can be a stressful time and can be a period of anxiety for both teenagers and their family worrying about the future. Our webinars, aimed at parents, carers and family members who have children in Year 11 and Year 13, will provide attendees with strategies to support young people who are waiting on their results.
The webinar that you register for will be led by Anna Freud Centre education and mental health experts, and will also include tips for parents and carers to manage their own wellbeing during this time. There will also be opportunities to ask questions.

Free workshop for all students transitioning to university this Autumn
The Anna Freud Centre is offering a free webinar for students heading to university this Autumn.
Heading to university can be an exciting time for many young people, an opportunity to meet new people, make new memories and explore their own independence. It can also be a challenging time, with change and unfamiliarity. The webinar will offer strategies for students to manage their own wellbeing when starting out at university.
Reserve your free place on one of the webinar dates.
#SelfCareSummer
The summer holidays offer an opportunity to recharge, but some young people may find themselves struggling without the structure and support network of school. The Anna Freud Centre's Schools Division has created #SelfCareSummer packs for primary and secondary schools, to help young people find strategies to support their mental health and wellbeing over the holidays.
To support education staff to prioritise their own wellbeing, the Centre has also created a self-care toolkit for staff.
