Mental health services in our diocese

Emotional Health

One of Bishop Jonthan’s key priorities since becoming Bishop of Portsmouth has been the mental and emotional health of young people, particularly those affected by the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This work has been supported by the Council for Social Responsibility, led by Nick Ralph.

On this page you’ll be able to find resources and information for those working with young people with a particular focus on their mental and emotional wellbeing.
