Help young people manage their digital wellbeing and mental health with these classroom resources and get advice on how you can support them.

Keeping children healthy and well is a top priority and there are now many apps available to help improve their general wellbeing.

Internet Matters have scoured the best of the net to uncover popular (FREE) wellbeing apps available to download. From meditation techniques to family-based games designed to help kids practise understanding their feelings.

We also asked our panel of experts to offer some advice on how cyberbullying can affect a child’s mental health.
