Mental Health and Wellbeing at South Hylton

Emotional wellbeing

Evidence suggests that a small improvement in wellbeing can help to decrease some mental health problems and also help people to flourish, therefore we have adopted the 5 ways to wellbeing project, this sets out 5 actions to improve personal wellbeing:

Connect– connecting with others
Give– giving – looking outward as well as inward
Take Notice– taking notice of the world around you
Keep Learning– learning new things
Be Active– doing something active

Pupils will have the opportunity to learn and embrace these 5 ways to enhance their wellbeing throughout the school environment and this will be embedded into their learning in PSHE.

At SHPA we have an Education Mental Health Practitioner, Abbie Bewick, who will be in school each Thursday to work with targeted children either individual or as specific group interventions. Some of the interventions Abbie will be delivering are the ‘Friends Intervention’ and Anxiety Awareness.
