Resources
Looking after mental health can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. On this page, you will find a range of helpful resources for everyday life. Whether you’re looking for guidance on starting meaningful conversations with children and young people, practical tools for schools, or strategies to support wellbeing in the workplace, Isle Listen has aimed to bring together trusted information and accessible support in one place.
These resources are regularly reviewed and updated, so if there is something you would like to be added, please let us know!
Getting Help
For Young People
If you or a young person you know needs help with their mental health, our Get Help page has all the information you need to put in a referral to Talk, as well as advice and signposting on specific mental health concerns.
Community Signposting
There are many local charities, third sector organisations and Government agencies on the Isle of Man who can support you.
Remember, you are not alone – help is available, and taking the first step is the most important part.
Supporting Children and Young People
Worksheets and Posters
To complement our school curriculum, we have created a range of resources including posters, worksheets and guides, that can be used at home or in school to encourage conversations about mental health. All the worksheets include guidance notes for teachers and parents in how to support a young person to do the activity, and questions that can help them open up.

Lesson Plans and Assemblies
Here we will share lesson plans that can be used by schools to support delivery of PSHE. They complement our Education Programmes in schools, and help support conversations. If you have questions about any of the lessons or activities, please contact education@islelisten.im.
Throughout the year we will also share assemblies here that have been written for specific events in the calendar such as Children’s Mental Health Week.
Transition to Secondary School
The step up to secondary school is a big milestone. It’s exciting, but it’s also completely normal to feel nervous, worried, uncertain or even a mixture of all three. These resources help provide young people with positive strategies.
