Mental Health - Parent Session, 8th March, 3-4pm

Hello, I'm Aaron an Educational Mental Health Practitioner working within The Bay CE Secondary School. I am a part of the Mental Health Support Team that visits Primary and Secondary schools on the Isle of Wight offering support for young people with mild to moderate mental health struggles. The team is a collaboration of the NHS, Barnardo's, and the Youth Trust working together to deliver a Tier 1 Children’s Mental Health Service. The support we offer varies from Low Intensity CBT parent led group work, assemblies, and workshops to support parents, young people, and staff.

Young people's mental health has always been a passion of mine and given that I used to attend this school myself, it only seemed fitting that I come back and offer my support!

I am offering a session for parents on Wednesday 8th March from 3-4pm. This will be held at the secondary site. The session will be about spotting signs and symptoms of Anxiety and how to support your child.

Mrs Sephton, Mental Health Lead Teacher will also be available to for an informal chat and a cuppa with parents and carers about mental health.
