Supporting Emotional Health & Wellbeing in Secondary Schools
£280.00
Emotional health and wellbeing have never been a greater priority in our schools with children facing a whole host of uncharted waters when it comes to their mental health and emotional wellbeing. In schools, we have a duty to provide our children with the knowledge and skills they need in order identify, regulate and understand their feelings and more importantly, how to keep themselves safe in a range of situations.
Our secondary aged children are finding their way in a world that we could never have imagined; they experience pressures and situations -that as adults- we have not had experience with ourselves. As a result, we need to be constantly upskilling ourselves to best support and teach our children to best manage these difficult and challenging situations. It has been well-researched that children’s emotional health can have a significant impact on all areas of their lives, including their academic progress, their relationships with others and their physical health, therefore schools need to have a clear plan for supporting the children within their settings to minimise the impact and guide children into becoming happy, healthy and safe adults.
