CHILDLINE REPORTS 37% INCREASE IN CONTACTS FROM KIDS AGED 11 AND UNDER

17 Jul 202017 July 2020

The NSPCC's counselling service for young people - Childline - says that it has
had an increase in calls about mental and emotional health during the UK's
lockdown.

The charity reports that counselling sessions for kids aged 11 and younger have
risen by 37% compared to the number of sessions before lockdown began.

While many of these calls relate to mental and emotional health, Childline says
they also regularly hear worries about family relationships, arguments and
stressed parents.

Peter Wanless, who helps run the NSPCC, says "There is no doubt that the
coronavirus pandemic has had a direct impact on the mental health of many of our
children and young people across the country."

Life in lockdown - how has it been?



This report from Childline reflects similar findings from other charities that
support young people, including Place2Be, The Childhood Trust and Barnardo's.

Earlier this year, children's charity Barnardo's asked 4,000 children and young
people aged eight to 24 how they'd been feeling during the coronavirus pandemic,
with a third saying they felt their mental and emotional health had suffered.

Counselling can help people of all ages understand their worries better



MORE CHILDREN GETTING HELP

Childline says that since the start of the year, it has delivered 11,783
counselling sessions related to the coronavirus.

And between 23 March and 30 June 2020 the charity delivered more than 60,000
counselling sessions in total, a third of these were about mental and emotional
health.

Now that lockdown is easing, more young people are sharing their worries over
what school might be like and fears about catching coronavirus.

Esther Rantzen, who created Childline in 1986, says "the pandemic has turned
children's lives upside down", and that she believes that many young people have
been "cut off" from places of support including friends, family and school.

Summer Term in Lockdown - A Newsround Special


HOW DOES THIS NEWS AFFECT ME?

Not everyone will have the same experience of life in lockdown - and we know
many of you have been enjoying more time at home.

But the report from Childline and other children's charities shows that not
everyone's experience has been positive.

To enjoy the CBBC Newsround website at its best you will need to have JavaScript
turned on.

Dr Laverne gives her top tips on how to deal with feeling anxious about
coronavirus
What should I do if I'm struggling?

If you are feeling low and not sure what to do, talk to someone you trust about
how you're feeling.

 * Your dad, mum or carer.
 * Another family member.
 * Another grown up who looks after you.

If you feel you still need help after you speak to them, don't give up. Tell
another adult you trust until you get the help you need.

You can also contact Childline on 0800 1111 for free at any time.

Or you can look at all the advice on the Own It website and other charity
websites that you can find on this page here.

   I use Childline a lot. Sometimes I call them and sometimes I use their
   website/ app. My social worker recommended it for me and it really helps. I
   hope anyone who is feeling down because of lockdown feels happier soon. My
   advice would be to always remember that normal life will return!

   I haven't seen any of my friends. I want to tell people how I feel but
   they're busy and it's really hard to tell other people. I am going to try and
   talk to someone later and if they're busy, I will TRY to talk to Childline

   I feel sad because today is my last day of year 7 and I haven't gone to
   school to see my friends since march. The next time I go to school will be
   all the way in September and by then I'll be in year 8. I don't feel like the
   government has done a good job for school because most people haven't gone to
   school since March. i feel angry and frustrated.

      Don't feel bad, luckily you're not in Year 5 now. It's really scary
      because I've grown up with the Year 6s to look up to and now they're
      leaving and I have also only talked to one friend from school. I am
      nervous but excited about going into my last year at primary but I feel
      nerve-wracked about deciding secondary schools.😣
