At Willow Park, we are committed to supporting the positive mental health and wellbeing of our whole school community (children, staff, parents and carers). We have a supportive and caring ethos and our approach is respectful and kind, where each individual and contribution is valued.
We endeavor to ensure that children are able to manage times of change and stress and aim to ensure that they are supported and able to access the help they need and to reach their potential. We also have a role to ensure that children learn about what they can do to maintain positive mental health, what affects their mental health, how they can help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and where they can go if they need help and support.
At our school we know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable at times and we may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role in supporting each other.
