Hi, 

I am running the Reading Half Marathon for a charity called NO5.No5 is Reading’s service for children and young people providing free confidential counselling and emotional support to anyone between the ages of 10 and 25.

There may be things that bother you that you can talk about with family, friends and teachers. However, there may be things that you do not feel comfortable discussing with people close to you, and therefore you might benefit from a neutral space in which to explore them. They can support you with whatever you’re going through and no issue is too big or small to bring to No5. Some difficulties that children and young people using our service have been dealing with include:

Relationships and Friendships
Drugs and Alcohol
Self-Esteem
Exam Stress
Abuse
Home Issues
Bullying/cyber bullying
Anger
Sex
Sexuality
Anxiety
Bereavement
Depression
Self-Harm
Loss
Eating Disorders
Identity
OCD and Phobias
