Self-Care Strategies for Young People

The Anna Freud National Center for Children and Families and youth advocates at Common Room in the UK have developed a series of self-care resources for young people experiencing mental health challenges. Their new interactive webpage has youth-friendly graphics for dozens of self-care activities, along with hopeful messages, tips, and quotes from other youth; visitors can also easily share whether they have tried an approach personally; if it was helpful, why; and what advice they would give to peers. A related infographic shows the evidence base behind various approaches to self-care among youth.
