Resources From the Education Psychology Service
Please see below for some very useful links and book listings circulated by our Education Psychology Service, to encourage and assist you with conversations
with your children and young people at this time.
Resources for Schools and Parents
We all realise how difficult it can be trying to talk to children and young people about global crises. As psychologists we are often asked about how much to tell children, how and when to talk to them, and how we can feel prepared for challenging conversations. We have therefore started to compile a list of resources and helpful websites for you to use over the coming weeks.
