In school support:
You can access the wellbeing team in school by speaking to your Form Tutor, Head of Year, by emailing or by dropping into the wellbeing office. Additionally, you can self-refer by using the worry box located in pastoral.
An initial meeting will take place where we can establish what support is right for you moving forwards. This may be structured counselling, wellbeing support sessions, drop-ins, or support with a referral to an external agency.
External support:
If you need support outside of the school day, during school holidays or just want to access an external organisation, here are some that you may find useful:
