Useful Apps And Websites

 

While we take care to ensure that the organisations we signpost to provide high quality information and advice, we cannot take responsibility for any specific pieces of advice they may offer. We encourage parents and carers to always explore the website of a linked service or organisation to understand who they are and what support they offer before engaging with them.

Our approach to mental health and wellbeing, is embedded within the classroom, school environment and whole school community in an effort to boost the mental health and wellbeing of students and staff and prevent the onset of mental health problems.

Our approach aims to:

• Encourage our students to adopt mentally healthy behaviours early in life

• Build resiliency so they can cope better with problems and stress

• Reduce stigma around mental illness and increase openness about discussing mental health

• Build the capacity of staff to create mentally healthy school environments

• Foster partnerships between school and the community.
