BWell Together
1 to 1 Support from Circle and Stepping stones
Sometimes it can be good to talk to an adult who is not in your family. They will listen to you and you can do something fun together. As you get to know them you can tell them about your feelings, worries and things that are going on in your life. It is good to have different people in your life you can talk to and have some fun at the same time.
