    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
