MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING SUPPORT Early intervention groups and 1:1 sessions Assemblies for primary and secondary schools Sometimes students only needed a couple of sessions to feel reassured and empowered to manage their mental health. Parent webinars on a range of topics RHSE workshops in primary schools Staff CPD and mental health first aid training LGBTQ+ support and inclusion development With growing pressure on our young people, our Mental Health and Wellbeing Partnerships focus on a cross partnership approach for prevention and early intervention for mental health related issues. We aim to support students, their families and staff with a range of support. These include webinars, toolkits, training for staff and peer mentoring training for students. Our Partnership work gives students and staff the opportunities to share experiences and best practice to help promote positive mental health and wellbeing in the local community. The Mental Health and Wellbeing Coordinator and other colleagues provide support for students at partner schools looking at understanding and managing stress and anxiety, strategies for low mood and lack of motivation, and building self esteem. Parent webinars include online safety and managing emotions. We also deliver ‘Preparing for Puberty’ workshops for years 4-6 at local schools and provide support to the schools with parent webinars on the topic of RSHE and puberty. We deliver several assemblies including ‘managing big feelings’ for KS1 and ‘diversity: what is normal?’ for KS2. It was the best course I have ever done! The tips and guidance were really useful. Teacher Parent Parent Natalie Hunt, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Coordinator works across schools and is passionate about supporting young people’s mental health.
