STUDENTS from North Bromsgrove High School have been taking part in activities as part of Children’s Mental Heath Week which began on Monday and ends on Sunday, February 7 to 13.
The pupils have been exploring the many different issues young people face today.
With the rise of anxiety in society due to the impact of the pandemic, the school wanted to address the important issue of mental health to ensure students felt supported with any issues and reinforced the different avenues available for help.
This year’s theme for Children’s Mental Health week is ‘Growing Together’ and the concept was inspired by ‘All on the Board’ – the Transport for London employees who post motivational quotations.
North’s students were encouraged to understand where to be signposted to go for support and develop independence.
North Bromsgrove High School also produced a film (below) which was led by the school’s counsellor and had important messages championing the ethos that it is ‘good to talk’.
The school wrote daily inspirational messages and staff displayed them on their doors along with its own ‘underground network’ of support.
