We have launched a new interactive digital booklet called 'Exam success', to support pupils with exams this summer. It includes revision planning tips and practical techniques to help young people feel calmer and more in control. It’s part of a wider set of mental health support workbooks developed by our Mental Health Support Teams in Schools, explaining how stress can affect the body and the mind.

Our Mental Health Support Teams in Halton, Knowsley, St Helens and Warrington also provide sessions in schools that help young people notice early signs of feeling worried or sad during exam time.

Pamela Allen, Senior Clinical Lead for our Mental Health Support Teams in Schools explains,

“Exam season can be overwhelming, but young people don’t have to face it alone. Our workshops in schools already support young people to spot early signs of feeling worried or low. Now, this new booklet can help all pupils develop relaxation techniques and self care skills, with handy exam hacks to build confidence and resilience. Exam stress is temporary and with the right support, every student can thrive.”

Exam success is free and available to download from Mersey Care’s website and can be used by schools, parents, carers and youth support workers. The resources complement Mersey Care’s commitment to supporting the mental health of young people ensuring they have the tools they need not only to succeed academically but to thrive emotionally.
