A message for parents 

The Lucy Rayner Foundation is built on the belief that open conversations, education and early help save lives.

Their work helps young people: 

• Understand their feelings

• Recognise when they or others may need support

• Know that help is available and asking for it is okay

The Foundation’s approach is compassionate, educational and preventative, aligning closely with schools’ duty to safeguard and promote wellbeing.
