What can affect our Mental Health?
Our mental health can change, just life our physical health. There are many different life events and experiences that can affect how we feel mentally. These can range from things such as the start or end of relationships, a bereavement, family difficulties, loss of a job, receiving good news or being worried about those we are close to.
Well-being Toolkit
The Well-being toolkit is designed to help support you or your childās mental health. It is divided up into sections and can be used as and when needed, finding the relevant section or working through the Toolkit as a whole.
There are many things we can do day to day to help maintain or build positive mental health. Looking after ourselves physically, connecting positively with others, spending time outside and in nature are among a few.
Life can present many challenges and struggles and finding ways to look after ourselves physically and emotionally can help us cope with these demands and difficulties. The toolkit provides some skills and strategies as well as information to support taking a more proactive and mindful approach to our mental health.
The toolkit does not replace any additional support that may be needed for your child and if you are unsure please contact the school to discuss this. Included in the toolkit is guidance how to do this and further external support information and resources.
