Mental Health and Wellbeing

MENTAL HEALTH AT CHRIST CHURCH

“Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realises his or her own abilities; can cope with the normal stresses of life; can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”
World Health Organisation. 2018At Christ Church, we aim to promote good mental health and wellbeing for our whole community: children, staff, parents and carers.

We aim to develop protective factors by being a community in which all:

  • are respected
  • have a sense of belonging and feel safe
  • are able to talk openly with trusted adults
  • see good mental health as something to be valued and nurtured

We want all members of our community to:

  • feel confident in themselves
  • be able to express a range of emotions appropriately
  • be able to make and maintain positive relationships with others
  • cope with the challenges of everyday life
  • manage times of stress and deal with change
  • thrive and achieve

We aim to achieve this through:

  • living out our vision and values
  • our PHSE curriculum
  • awareness raising days and weeks (mental health and wellbeing days/assemblies, empathy days and top tips for good mental health)
  • listening to our children
  • gaining insights via pupil voice
  • working in partnership with parents/carers, where there are concerns about mental health
  • signposting sources of external help and advice
  • making referrals and working with external agencies, to provide additional support to those who need it
  • recognising the importance of staff mental health and wellbeing.
  • modelling healthy attitudes and habits

We are not able or qualified to offer:

  • counselling
  • testing and diagnosis of mental health conditions
  • specialist therapies
