Mental health support for children aged 5 to 11

Advice and Information - 9 May 2023

More than 10,000 children and young people are likely to be struggling with their mental health at any one time in Bristol, but it can be difficult to know where you can get help. We've put together the different organisations that can offer support.

Parents and carers told us that there was a lack of mental health support for children and young people in Bristol, particularly for those aged 5 to 11.

To help parents and carers clearly see the different types of support available and the routes into receiving support, we created two infographics, including one that can be easily printed. Both can be downloaded below.

The services have been divided into those most appropriate for children with mild difficulties, moderate difficulties, and severe difficulties. We have also included some national organisations that can be used accessed by children and young people.
