This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and our school assembly went through what mental health is – our feelings, thoughts and emotions – and how it’s possible to have good or bad mental health in a similar way to our physical health.
We have feelings, thoughts and emotions all the time. However, sometimes we may feel something and don’t know why – it is at this stage that it’s good to tell someone about how you are feeling.
Getting support involves:
- Telling someone how you feel
- They will listen to you
- They can help you to get support
It’s important to find a trusted adult that children can discuss things with. To help our wellbeing we can
- Keep active
- Give others our attention
- Communicate with others
- Keep learning
- Take notice of our surroundings and others
Key message is: It’s ok not to feel ok and you always have someone you can talk to!
