It’s Men’s Health Week, remember this 🩵

Men,

It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to show emotion.
It’s okay to be emotional.
It’s okay to feel sad.
It’s okay to be okay.
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to grieve.
It’s okay to tell someone you’re struggling.
It’s okay to talk.
It’s okay to struggle.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to feel lost.

It’s okay to talk about your mental health.

Today, we had the pleasure of working with Animator and CEO of Mental Roots, Nathan Addai
The pupils were able to discuss their feelings around mental health and identity.
A hugely successful session, allowing the pupils to speak freely about their own experiences.
