Health & Well-being Support 
This Health and Well-being area contains useful information to help you understand and appreciate that your health and wellbeing is important. Not only does it enable you to learn successfully but it also helps to be independent, happy and healthy individuals. This page also contains information about a number of external agencies that can help.
If something is concerning you or if you have any questions, then it's important to talk to an adult you can trust. You can speak to a parent/carer, teacher, class tutor, head of year, inclusions officer or any member of the school's staff. We are here to help and support you.

NHS '111 Press 2'
The NHS ‘111 press option 2’ for mental health is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all ages. People can use this number if they have an urgent mental health concern themselves or about someone they know.
By providing access to a mental health professional, without the need for a GP referral, it can help support people to manage a mental health crisis and in many cases be an alternative to attending emergency departments or calling the police.
The service can be accessed by calling NHS 111 and selecting ‘option 2’. Callers will be transferred to a dedicated member of a mental health team in their local health board area.

Foster Wales
Foster Wales Carmarthenshire are proud to announce the launch of a new campaign, Fostering in Llanelli.
Fostering in Llanelli is a dedicated campaign in response to the rising numbers of children and young people in foster care in Carmarthenshire who come from Llanelli.
While Llanelli is the key focus for the campaign, the urgent need for foster carers across Carmarthenshire remains, and recruitment efforts are ongoing county-wide.
Foster Wales Carmarthenshire wants to challenge common misconceptions that often prevent potential foster carers from enquiring, reassuring potential foster carers that full training and support are provided and that people from all walks of life can foster.
We encourage anyone interested in fostering to attend an in person event to meet the team, ask questions, and find out how fostering could fit into their lives.
To learn more about fostering or to start your journey, visit Foster Wales Carmarthenshire.
