Are you curious how you can help calm an anxious child?

It's important that you use the right words when connecting with a child so you don't make their fears worse. Renee Jain (gozenlove) has shared these six phrases to help you to support a child with their anxiety. ✨

We want to make mental health information accessible to all young people!
So for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek we have put up resources and helplines which anyone in PL can read

[PLHS @PrestonLodgeHS]

Check out our #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek display wall in Maths. There are lots of helpful contacts and advice on how to manage stress, how to practice self care and who to turn to if you need help. @_MYPAS @LGBTYS @_dannis_

🧠 Our Mental Health Youth Worker, Danni Spencer, is on hand in the library 8-4 for staff, pupils, informal chats, mental health information and to give out freebies - who doesn’t like a freebie?! Talking about mental health should be normalised and encouraged! #TimeToTalkDay 🫂

[Mind @MindCharity]

It’s #TimeToTalk Day on 2 February. It’s a chance for all of us to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.

We want everyone to make space in their day for a conversation about mental health on #TimeToTalk Day. How will you have your conversation?

[Danni Spencer @_dannis_]

It’s #TimeToTalkDay!!

Having more conversations around mental health can help to normalise some of our feelings and reduce stigma of mental health.

Today I have a stall set up in @PrestonLodgeHS for staff and pupils; mental health information, freebies and informal chats!

[Danni Spencer @_dannis_]

Great night spent at @PortSetonCentre with the youth group talking about exam stress, ways to cope with stress and how important a balance is of studying and activities which make us feel good!
