This booklet helps young people explore and enjoy opportunities in their local area which can help them feel good about themselves .Emotional difficulties are not uncommon amongst adolescents and some young people with learning difficulties will develop mental health problems. They may go through relatively mild and brief periods of being anxious or unhappy, but occasionally they may experience more prolonged or serious difficulties and will need specialist help. The second part of this booklet explains how parents and carers can recognise if this is happening, and where and how they can find help.
