Mental Health First Aid

This week, we welcomed staff from schools across the South West to our first two-day Mental Health First Aid England training course. The course, led by our Head of Learning Support and Mental Health instructor, Lucy Silk, alongside fellow MHFA instructor, Debbie Spens, aims to raise understanding and awareness of a range of mental health issues in schools – and is especially timely ahead of World Mental Health Day next week. As our children wrote on a school-wide piece of artwork to raise mental health awareness earlier this year, ‘we are each unique and beautiful, but together we are a masterpiece’ – and we are proud to be flying this important flag.
