Mental Health, Positivity & Well-being

At Charles Darwn Community Primary School we use various strategies to support pupils in recognising strategies to promote good mental health, and knowing where to go for support with potential SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) problems. These include:

Teaching about mental health and wellbeing through curriculum subjects such as:
- PSHE
- RSHE
Counselling
Positive classroom management
Developing pupils’ social skills
Working with parents
Peer support

If you are concerned about your child's mental health, please contact your child's class teacher using the year group email.
