Support for young people with exam/results worries:
While waiting for exam results, a young person will likely be going through a range of emotions and – without a conversational outlet – bottle them up. Encourage open conversation in which they can express these emotions. Openly talking about hopes and fears and acknowledging feelings of worry, failure, disappointment, and related pressures will help. This will help to build resilience, reaffirm trust and foster confidence about the future for your young person.
SaferSchools have a fantastic page full of information, advice and guidance on this subject.
