Hello Everyone,

I wanted to direct you to a few useful documents to support children's mental health and wellbeing during the strange times we are facing.

The PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) Association have published home learning sessions which help you discuss feelings, emotions and mental health with your child.  I would encourage you to look and follow the powerpoint of questions, they are self explanatory and age appropriate for our pupils.  They are published on your child's class webpage.  

Here is an children's book which you can read online to explain about the Coronavirus:

Here is a document which lists some lovely activities you can do to help your mental health, either on your own or as a family.

Looking forward to seeing you all again but, in the meantime, stay safe and well in body and mind.

Hi All
Please find the following updates attached
Children and Families Health Devon -CAMHS
Primary School Parent Pack
Window walk of solidarity
Space (youth service) Preventing Isolation of Young People 
PHN – School Nurses – SN Newsletter
Please see attached brief newsletter to highlight access to SN service that can be shared with families.  Like many services our access to referrals, and support for young people especially, has declined following schools closing to the majority of pupils and we have been trying to get information out via a variety of routes to enable young people and families to access the service directly as needed. We continue to provide advice and support via our locality hubs and chat health as well as continuing to work with young people and families through increased use of phone and online resources where appropriate to do so.
