For Students
We at Values for Life believe it is important that every young person feels safe, valued and supported.
That means that whatever it is you might be going through at the moment – issues at home, school, or just stressed out with life – there is always someone you can talk to.
If you would like to ask a question, give us some feedback or need some additional support, feel free to send us an email or use our contact form. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
Some people who can help:
- School Counsellor or Wellbeing Coordinator
- Chaplain (if your school has one)
- A caring adult or teacher you trust
