Going Forward
Congratulations on how far you’ve come. You should be proud of how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve achieved!
This is a time to celebrate your achievements, but also to look ahead and think about what comes next.
We’ve put together some pages to help you with your journey going forwards.
Finding a community
Finding a group of people who you can relate to can really help to build your resilience and bring joy to your life.
Joining groups where you have a shared interest can help you to find a supportive group of friends. You could try an after school club, join a society at university or, if you’re over 18, the Meetup website is a great place to find people with a shared interest.
Starting your career
If you’re planning on entering the world of work, the National Careers Service can help to make this a smoother process. They offer:
And much more…
If you’re looking into studying at a university or in higher education, UCAS can help you to find a course that suits you.
Alternatively, the find an apprenticeship website can help you to find the best of both worlds – learning while you work.
Wellbeing advice
If you need any advice on drugs, alcohol, relationships or your wellbeing, you can take a look on our website or speak to someone using our webchat. For information on specific drugs, you can visit the Talk to Frank website.
If you’re looking for any information or advice on mental health problems, Young Minds and Mind are great places to start.
Getting more support
If you need any more support at any point, there are a lot of places that you can reach out to.
If it's an emergency or you don't think you can keep yourself safe, please call 999 or go to A&E.
Otherwise, you can reach out through our live chat, text SHOUT, or call Childline if you’d rather speak to someone over the phone.
