This resource is aimed at children (6 years +) and young people living with eczema.
It offers support to manage the emotional and social challenges of eczema, such as low mood, anxiety, social engagement, and appearance concerns.
Support from family, friends, and others with eczema, along with confidence-building skills, can help.
Using this resource involves watching videos and completing worksheets designed to build confidence and reduce worries.
You can access the resource here.
Created by Dr Ella Guest from UWE, Bristol, it helps you live well with eczema.
“These resources have had a positive impact on my child’s emotional wellbeing and I would recommend these to other families.”

The Research
Read More
The Eczema Wellbeing Resource was developed using science-backed strategies to help children and young people deal with common worries about eczema, including challenging thoughts to be more helpful, dealing with negative experiences with other people, and improving confidence and self-esteem.
The videos and worksheets are based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), positive body image, social skills training, and gratitude techniques – all of which are commonly used in psychology.
