As everybody starts to get used to the new ways of working in these very different times, we want to remind/inform you of the Meic helpline service for the children and young people of Wales.
Time will tell how much of an impact Covid-19 has had on the health and wellbeing of the children and young people of Wales. Mental health contacts the Meic helpline has certainly increased during lockdown and this is the reason for contacting you today. It is important that young people are aware of the services that are there to support them, even more so during extreme times like these. The Meic helpline, funded by Welsh Government and ran by ProMo-Cymru, offers information, advice and advocacy to every child and young person under 25 in Wales.
The Meic Helpline is free, confidential and bilingual and can be contacted by phone (080880 23456), text (84001) or online chat (www.meic.cymru). Children and young people can talk to one of their trained advisers about any question or issue they may have, big or small. Their advisers will then work with that child or young person to find the help that they need.
