Emotional health and wellbeing
Good emotional health and wellbeing is crucial to the social development and educational attainment of all children. It allows children to learn new skills and build self-confidence to reach their full potential and overcome challenges. If you are concerned about your child displaying signs of anxiety, mood changes, problems sleeping or withdrawal from friends we may be able to support you.
We would offer you a holistic health needs assessment about your child that would cover all elements of their life. This is so we can begin to understand where we could focus our support.
We would then offer you up to six sessions that are usually weekly but would be planned to fit the needs of you and your child.
The sessions will be carried out by a qualified nurse and depending on the age of the child the sessions will be split between you and your child. This is so you will be able to support your child between sessions. Each session would last about 30 minutes and be over a virtual platform, either in school or at home.
The sessions could cover subjects such as resilience, transition, making a change and sustaining a change.
Please contact us if you would like any support.
