Mental Health Tips for Young People in Supported Accommodation

Your wellbeing matters — here are a few ways to look after your mental health while preparing for independence:

1. Create a routine.
Having structure (even simple things like regular meals and bedtime) can give your day purpose and help reduce anxiety.

2. Talk it out.
Whether it’s your key worker, a trusted friend, or a mental health support line, talking helps. You’re not alone.

3. Move your body.
Even a short walk, stretching, or dancing in your room can boost your mood and reduce stress.

4. Do one thing that brings you joy.
Whether it’s music, drawing, watching a funny video — joy is part of healing.

5. Ask for help.
Asking for support is a strength, not a weakness. We’re here to listen and guide you to the right help.

📞 Speak to your key worker if you feel low, anxious, or overwhelmed — we’re here for you.
