Mental Health is hugely important, there is new guidance from the DfE around Sex and Relationship Education that includes mental health and positive relationships has just come into effect. There is also a lot of talk about mental health in the media.
It is important to be aware of your own mood when supporting someone. How you approach the situation and how interact can have a positive affect to the outcome of the situation.
