Well being
The emotional well being of all of our children has never been so important. Please let your child's class teacher know or contact someone in school if you need help.
Each year we cover a range of issues during Children's Mental Health Week.
Further support (from the NHS website)
If you're worried about how your child is coping, there's plenty of advice, help and support out there.
Rise Above helps 11 to 16-year-olds build emotional resilience by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to deal with the pressures they may face.
Parents Helpline Enquiries, from Young Minds, offers advice about mental health in children and young people up to the age of 25. You can call the helpline on 0808 802 5544.
Childline offers a confidential telephone counselling service, so your child can speak to someone anonymously. They can:
- call 0800 1111 any time, free of charge
- have an online chat with a counsellor
- check out the Childline message boards
