Coping with exams?
Most people worry about taking exams. Exam pressure affects us all at some time or another, but worrying can make us feel stressed and anxious.
If this is you, rest assured you are not alone, but it is very important that you share your worries. So what can you do to calm down - and what help is available?
click here for helpful tips and here for our free downloadable helpful leaflet
and here for press release.
And remember our helpline is here to help you if you are feeling suicidal about exams - or anything else for that matter -
and here for you, too, if you are worried about a young person who could be feeling suicidal.
