Mental Health and Well-Being at Holy Trinity
Well-being and Mental Health is always a priority and at Holy Trinity and we are proud to be supporting Children’s Mental Health Week February https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/
‘Let’s Connect’ is about making connections with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways. This can be online, in a team or choir or shared dance, in the community, through acts of kindness, etc. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our well-being. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends, and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of well-being. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health. In the week commencing 6th February, we will be exploring these ideas with the children and the whole school community.
As well as supporting Mental Health Week, we have created our very own virtual classroom full of resources, support for parents and children, helpful hints and games.
How to use the interactive classroom:
- Click on any images in the bookcase to access (left) books (right) games and activities
- Click on the ‘proud to support’ which will take you straight to the Children’s mental health support page.
- Click on ‘need help‘ for support pages such as charities and support with school
- Click on ‘activities and strategies‘ for games and activities for children
- Click on the ‘grown-ups poster‘ for support for adults and our very own concerns and questions box where we will get back to you.
Many people struggle with their mental health at times and there is no shame in admitting these struggles. The sooner support is available, the better. At Holy Trinity we support students to have good mental health through our curriculum and support services. Supporting children and parents is key and through the virtual classroom, we feel support is available. We have a Mental Health and Wellbeing team at Holy Trinity who are available for both adults and children.
Storytelling week in Earls Hill
It has been yet another exciting week in Earls Hill. Daily story times have been a little bit different this week; different members of staff from the Academy had read to the children which has been really enjoyable.
On Friday it was NSPCC Number day, the children took part in lots of number based activities and really enjoyed showing off their fantastic outfits. We would like to thank parents and carers for their support. Below are a few pictures from the day:
