So in order to do so, Wiltshire Council are providing a new forum, as well as an online directory.
Today, they are having a virtual conference to launch the Wiltshire Mental Health Stakeholder Forum, which will tell people the easiest ways to access support.
These will be for a number of mental health issues, including bullying.
Alongside this, they are going to have an online directory which will have details on who parents and carers can contact for any help.
Cllr Laura Mayes, Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Skills said:
"During this difficult year we have witnessed what can be achieved when communities come together to tackle a common challenge.
Bullying has a long lasting effect on those who experience and witness it. But by channeling our collective power, through shared efforts and shared ambitions, we can reduce bullying together. From parents and carers, to teachers and services, to children and young people, we all have a part to play in uniting against bullying and coming together to make a difference."
During Anti-Bullying week, Wiltshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service will also be launching a new Single Point of Access and a new service provided by Barnardo's.
