Medway Young People Wellbeing Survey
Medway Public Health have been working with Tonic to put together a well-being survey for Medway young people.
They are hoping the survey results will give us a clear understanding of the experiences of young people in the area during lockdown. The results will then enable them to support schools and local services during and after the lockdown period.
The survey should take no more than five minutes.
Mental Health and Safer Internet Use
Mr Carey has provided the following links to support you with well-being and online safety.
In our current climate, this may be more pertinent than ever. Please see the following links where you can find support.

How are you coping?
What have you been doing?
Tell them what you have been doing
Share some tips of how you've been coping
