School Support

Does your school have a dress down day for a charity?

If so, you could suggest they do it for TeenTalk. The funds would be put to amazing use supporting children and young people when they most need it. At least one in ten of the children in a school will be affected by emotional and mental health issues, and the impact can affect the whole family. Good emotional health provides a solid foundation for children into later life.

We have been working hard to improve the emotional health of young people in North and West Wiltshire for over 8 years and we do this against the backdrop of the public negative perception surrounding mental health.

Non-uniform days can help us in two ways:

• They can provide much needed funds to ensure we can deliver services throughout the county in order to meet the increasing demand.
• Plus, the day raises awareness about mental and emotional health issues which will help increase the acceptability within society of people affected by mental health problems.
