Most of us feel this way at some point — and that’s completely normal. The good news? You’re not alone. Now might be a good time to reach out and talk to someone.
Try these ideas:
Talk to a friend or a trusted adult. You can also connect with someone from the Wellbeing Team or speak with the School Counsellor. They’re here to support you with strategies to help you feel better, or they can connect you with someone who can.
Take time for self-care. Do something that makes you feel good like listening to some music, calling a friend, or going for a walk or run.
Reflect on the prompts above. Identifying your strengths and finding ideas to help you move up the scale is a powerful step toward feeling better.
And remember, support is always available.

You’re doing well — and that’s great! But even when things are going smoothly, small actions can help you maintain your wellbeing.
Take a moment to reflect on the prompts above. When you're in a good headspace, it’s a great time to think about what helps you stay that way.
Look out for your mates.
Life gets busy, and it’s easy to miss when someone isn’t feeling their best. A quick check-in can make a big difference. Even if they’re not ready to talk, knowing someone cares can mean a lot. If you're concerned, speak to a staff member or a trusted adult. You can also encourage your friend to contact:
