As shown by our welfare offer, mental health is a top priority. There are a number of ways in which students can be suffering from poor mental health. As shown by the video below, it is not always easy to determine if somebody is struggling with mental health, so we need to work collaboratively to ensure that children always feel comfortable in speaking about their mental health.
