Thousands of students across the South will receive their A-level results this morning.
For some, it will be good news, but for others who are anxious and worried that they haven’t done so well.
In Sussex, young people who are feeling stressed or anxious during this period can text the word SUSSEX to 85258 to be connected to a qualified mental health professional for a real-time text-based conversation and mental health support.
It puts young people in touch with a mental health professional straight away.
Dr Oliver Dale, Chief Medical Officer for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Waiting for and receiving exam results can be an anxious time for young people. It's normal to feel some anxiety but if those feelings are becoming overwhelming, it's important to seek help."
