Healthy Teen Minds have co-produced with Health Education England (HEE) a set of unique learning resources for those supporting young people in crisis: four short 15 minute ‘learning guides’, delivered by young people with lived experience, available free on their online learning platform - www.crisistools.org.uk; complementary to, but not a replacement for clinical training; for people working in health and care, education or any other professionals, and also for parents and carers. This unique program is designed to amplify the voices of young people, allowing you to:

• understand the situation from young peoples’ perspectives, hearing what really helps, and what doesn’t, in their own words
• prepare for and manage key conversations with young people in crisis
• provide more effective and personalised support
• share and learn from your peers using the online resource hub

The guides cover:

1. What we need you to know outlines key challenges and strategies that people need to know before they begin their interaction

2. How to start the conversation features practical tips to help set up for success and build trust when supporting someone, including over the phone or online

3. So you want to talk about risk? explores the risk conversation from a young person’s perspective, including practical approaches and how to get the conversation back on track if things go wrong

4. How to wrap things up covers key tips and strategies to help end a conversation in a collaborative way that feels safe for everyone
