Mental health is:
• Worthy of your attention
• Necessary to prioritise
• Something everyone needs to look after
• Linked to physical health
• Something we need to teach in school
Mental health is not:
• Something to judge
• "All in the mind" - it impacts everything
• Always visible
• Just something to attend to when you're burned out
• A shameful topic
Important reminders from The Depression Project.
@YoungMindsUK@DanielRVW1 @moffat_andrew @RockKidzUK I just wanted to say my son had his first session with Forward thinking Birmingham today and he has learnt some techniques to help with his anxiety. He actually came away from it quite happy which is a great start 👍
Its such a shame all the hard work you guys do is wasted at Colmers Farm Primary school. No outsiders and anti bullying. Our family has never felt more on the outside as we do now! @moffat_andrew @RockKidzUK@Colmers_FarmPS
@BEPvoice time to start looking at what causes Mental health issues in schools. I would love for you to see how a poor year 5 teacher amongst other experiences and poor leadership at school has effected my son. Anxiety driven Tics. When will people wake up and take notice?
@RockKidzUK@Colmers_FarmPS Thank you. I have spoken to my sons TA as soon as he left. Such a shame as you guys have had a great impact on my kids today. Just unfortunate that some kids are cruel.
