Mental Health Awareness Week

Anxiety is the theme of Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

This week was mental health awareness week for 2023 with the main focus being around the subject of anxiety. Over the course of the week our students have had the oppurtunity to lean more about mental health awareness and anxiety, including activities within lessons around that theme.

We have also had two events, a presentation delivered by Nikki Wood, discussing anxiety, its common causes and how to help aleviate it.

On Thursday we had another visit from the Alter Ego theartre company delivering a play to raise awareness around adversity, resilience and mental health. If you wish to hear more about them please head to the following link - Alter Ego

Some of our staff also wore hoodies and tshirts stating the phrases its okay not to be okay and a problem shared is a problem halved to raise awareness throughout the school and prompt others to engage and ask questions.
