Mental Wellbeing

While rates of mental ill health increase as children get older, it is clear that early intervention is key to giving young people the best start in life.

 

What is Mental Health?

We all have mental health. Your mental health affects how you feel, think and act. It refers to your emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. Your mental health can change on a daily basis and over time, and it can be affected by a range of factors.

Our Mission

At St James Daisy Hill wellbeing is at the heart of our schools’ improvement. We have a vital role to play in supporting children’s mental health – teaching them the skills they need to recognise and deal with their emotions, and helping those with difficulties get the support they need.

Our mission is to develop a whole school approach to Mental Wellbeing. We aim to support our whole school community and teach preventative and coping strategies that we may need to thrive in the modern world.
