Wellbeing During COVID-19

Wellbeing comes from physical, mental and emotional health. For children and young people, there are many things that build positive wellbeing:

• understanding and managing emotions
• having good relationships
• experiencing a sense of accomplishment
• taking part in healthy activities, getting lots of sleep and eating well
