Hello Yellow Day
Thank you to all the students and staff who wore something yellow for World Mental Health Day and YoungMinds's Hello Yellow campaign. You all certainly helped brighten up a very rainy day! It was tricky getting photos of all the yellow accessories in the school during the wet breaktimes, but there were certainly many bursts of sunshine across the school.
Our pastoral programme focused on wellbeing during the week with tutor work and assemblies addressing mental health support within the school. We hope that all of our students know that there is plenty of support available to them if they are ever struggling.
Thank you to everyone who also donated to YoungMinds on Hello Yellow Day. By supporting the charity, you are making sure that young people have access to support when it matters most. Many young people are struggling with their mental health right now and that’s why days like Hello Yellow matter. By teaching young people to explore their feelings, how to talk about them and who to reach out to for help, we’re giving them the tools they need.
Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice. This includes:
• Online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent)
• A phoneline service for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health: 0808 802 5544 (Open 9.30am-4pm)
• As well as an online chat and email service (www.youngminds.org.uk/parentshelpline)
