Children's Mental Health Week 2021

The theme for Children's Mental Health Week (1 - 7 February) is 'Express Yourself' and we take a look at what this means and how it can help.  Students will also be looking at mental health and wellbeing during their form time this week.

It is also 'Time to Talk Day' on 4th February and we have some resources to support our families  #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #TimetoTalk

Things to think about before talking to your child:

  • Find a good time
  • Find a good place
  • Pitch at the right level
  • Show you're happy to listen
  • You can chat while doing something else too
  • You don't have to have the answers
  • You don't need to set aside hours - just opening up the conversation helps.
