At Our Lady of Lourdes, we try to support our pupils and families in a variety of different ways, that go beyond education in the classroom.

We aim to work closely with families offering care and Wellbeing support to those who may be suffering with any mental health issues, including low self-esteem or anxiety.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act.

Like physical health, mental health is something we all have. It can range across a spectrum from healthy to unwell; it can fluctuate on a daily basis and change over time.
Good mental health helps children:

• learn and explore the world
• feel, express and manage a range of positive and negative emotions
• form and maintain good relationships with others
• cope with, and manage change and uncertainty
• develop and thrive.

Building strong mental health early in life can help children build their self-esteem, learn to settle themselves and engage positively with their education. This, in turn, can lead to improved academic attainment, enhanced future employment opportunities and positive life choices.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act.

We have designed this page in the hope you find useful links  for anybody that has concerns about their child's welfare.

Please speak to your child's class teacher if you have any worries or need any further help or support.
