Support For Young People

• The Thrive Bradford website is new website to help young people (11 to 18 years) navigate their teenage years
• It is an easy-to-use website that you can signpost young people to for advice and support, and real stories from people like them
• The website covers a wide range of issues including: friends and relationships; self-confidence; sex and sexuality; life choices; curiosity and addiction; self-harm and how to get support

The Thrive Bradford website has been developed by young people for young people by Barnardo’s, in partnership with Bradford City CCG and our Trust.
