Uberheroes Vol 2: Genesis

Further information
Like the characters in the comic you may feel that these stories have connected
with you, or that the content of the stories has given you a lot to think about!
You might want to know more about what help is available, or you’re concerned
about a friend and want to know what practical help you can offer. Alternatively you
might want to speak to your parents or guardians but you’re nervous about how
they might react. The comic can be a great stepping-stone to start a conversation
about your fears, worries or concerns.
Whatever the situation, listed below are some of the many resources available in

Talking to your friends, members of your family and teachers can help you start to
better understand what you’re going through; you may be surprised to find that
others have had similar experiences and are willing to share their experiences with
you. Your friends or family may know of someone who they trust, who would be
willing to listen and offer you safe advice, having external support will help you to
see you’re not alone in thinking or feeling the way you do, it will also help rebuild
your confidence, self-belief and self-worth, which is the first step in healing and
recovery.
