Digital tools

Explore a collection of digital tools and services that you might want to use with the children and young people you support, covering a range of mental health and wellbeing areas.

And remember, many children and young people across Scotland are digitally excluded, so it's good practice to check if they have reliable access and the skills/confidence needed to use any tool you might signpost them to.

We don't endorse any particular tool - so be curious, but stay critical.
