At Alderbrook, we believe in promoting positive Emotional Health and Mental Wellbeing. Prioritising the wellbeing of students and staff ensures that outstanding teaching and learning can take place, and that the school is a community where everyone feels able to thrive.
Our Shared Values of ambition, bravery and kindness are the foundations of our community. At Alderbrook we want everyone to feel respected, safe and happy. Emotional health and mental wellbeing is an important focus in our school improvement plan. We promote our school values and EHMW across school via posters, displays, behaviour systems, staff planners, student ambassadors and safe spaces.
Parents and carers are often the first place young people go when they’re struggling – whether that’s relationships, school or their mental health.
However experienced you are, it can be hard to know the right thing to say when someone you love is hurting, or what next steps to take.
We want parents and carers to know that help’s out there.
Mind offer Parents Helpline advisors are just a click or phone call away with free, expert, confidential, 1-1 advice. They also have hundreds of online guides and real stories from parents who get it.
