“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. 2018 

At 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
