The Weatheralls Primary School

Emotional Health & Wellbeing

During an uncertain time, where children and families may not be able to readily access the support and guidance offered through school, we have put together some additional ideas about sites and organisations that may be able to help.  We have tried to locate the best online resources for children to use with adult support.

The NHS Emotional Health and Wellbeing service have also produced links to a range of resources for children to use -C19 CYP Mental Health Resources and also links and contact points for parents and carers, who themselves may be in need of support and help - C19 Parents Mental Health Resources

There is also the useful information from the organisations below which we usually recommend through our website and can be accessed to help and inform you of ways in which you can support your children at home.
