Supporting Teenagers Toolkit

This website offers a free, online toolkit presenting practical strategies, guidance, and resources that can facilitate individuals working with young people in leading supportive conversations and providing strategic support during the pandemic, based on the findings of the Teenagers’ Experiences of Life in Lockdown (TELL) study. It is designed for use by teaching and support staff working with adolescents in UK secondary schools, colleges, and universities.

Below you can watch the TELL film, which outlines our key findings of how teenagers experienced their wellbeing during lockdown.
