South Cumbria Pupil Referral Service
Wellbeing matters – it is defined as the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy.
If you have good mental wellbeing (https://www.mind.org.uk/) you are able to:
If you don’t feel good about yourself then you won’t be able to perform at your best level however we all have times where we just don’t feel okay and that’s allowed. What matters is to recognise in yourself and others when things are good and when they are not so good. It’s important to know how you can look after your own wellbeing and if you can, how to support others.
If you need any support just ask, as looking after yourself is the most important thing you can do.
WOODS WATCH
Welcome to The Wellness Woods
In September 2021 the Pupil Referral Service were lucky enough to secure our project proposal in collaboration with St Paul’s C of E School, creating The Wellness Woods ‘helping young people grow’. Using ideas to promote confidence, resilience and communication skills we aim to have a positive impact on the mental wellbeing of students, both primary and secondary, whilst being outdoors.
PRS students responded positively to their first few visits and took an enthusiastic hands-on approach, taking responsibility for planning and applying their own ideas to a specific area of the woods.
A new on line resource for young people aged 14 plus has been developed to help support well-being. The Big White Wall is:
• An anonymous community where members can support each other
• Access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
• Trained professionals available 24/7 to keep the community safe
• Self-assessments & recommended resources
• Creative tools to help express how you’re feeling
• Wide range of self-guided courses to do at your own pace
• You’re not alone – Community, Courses, Resources; register for free on the following link.
Further Support for Mental Health:
‘A little bit of help’ is a great collection of advice and support about well-being and mental health. It brings together advice, resources, courses for parents and links to other organisations all in one place and can be accessed by this link.
