Emotional Wellbeing
Emotional Wellbeing Teams are a government initiative also known nationally as Mental Health Support Teams. They are specially trained to help children at school with their emotional wellbeing and mental health. From time to time, children and young people need additional support with their emotional wellbeing and mental health, so we’re here to help. Getting the right support early can prevent problems getting bigger, so that your child can enjoy school, home, time with family & friends, and other activities.
They provide support to all children in the school, and work together with everyone in the school community to promote a ‘whole school approach’ to emotional wellbeing and mental health. We also work with children and their parents/carers in group or 1:1 sessions to support with specific problems.
For more inforamtion on support available please speak to Miss Akehurst.
