Specialist Education

Teen Mental Health & Wellness day

 

In PSHE this week all students have been focusing on ‘Teen Mental Health & Wellness Day’. Each group created their own jigsaw, the pieces to the jigsaw symbolised their own input to their mental health. As you can see from the jigsaw photo some students added things such as self care, exercise, socialising etc.

 

As a group we focused on what factors could contribute to teen’s mental health. The students expressed things such as social media, exams pressures and peer pressure. We discussed strategies which we could use to help in these situations.

 

Some students wrote 5 things which they were grateful for which really help show appreciation to the small things in life.
