At Warren Primary Academy, we understand the vital role that we play in supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing – teaching them the skills they need to recognise and deal with their emotions, and helping those with difficulties get the support they need.
Your mental health can affect how you feel, think and act, and it refers to your emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. Your mental health and wellbeing can change on a daily basis and over time, and can be affected by a range of factors.
Families and children at Warren Academy can access support for mental health and wellbeing through Place2Be.
We have our own in-school councillor, Keren, who is based in school 2 days a week (Thursdays and Fridays). Keren is able to provide 1:1 counselling, group counselling or source further support for families within the Place2Be service.
Keren also runs ‘Place2Talk’, a service which children in Year 1-Year 6 can access during lunchtimes on Thursdays and Fridays.
Place2Be has developed this free online parenting course in partnership with SLAM (South London and Maudsley-NHS Foundation Trust). It’s based on tried and tested techniques and experiences from supporting children, young people, and their families.
The course is designed to support parents and carers of primary-age children’s parenting journey.
