Supporting Children's Emotional Wellbeing

Children's mental health is just as important as their physical health.

Signs your child may need extra support:

-          Changes in mood

-          Difficulty sleeping

-          Loss of interest in activities

-          Increased anxiety

-          Friendship difficulties

-          Changes in behaviour

If you have any concerns, please speak to school.

We may be able to provide support through emotional check-ins, Early Help, Signposting to external services and Mental health referrals where appropriate.

The service focuses on early prevention and intervention; ensuring children and young people, their families/ carers are able to access appropriate support to improve and maintain positive emotional wellbeing, to expand and widen positive self esteem and to increase their self-efficacy in order to create resilience.
