School Support for Parents and Carers
We aim for all our parents and carers to feel a deep sense of belonging to our school community. Please speak to our schools Mental Health Lead or a senior leader to see how we can help.
- As a school, we are supported by the NHS Wave 6 Merton Mental Health Support Team. The team, which includes a clinical psychologist and Education Wellbeing Practitioners offers:
-
- Workshops and webinars on mental health and parenting
- Coffee mornings (to learn more about anxiety, low mood, behaviour, parenting skills, school pressures and more!)
- Signposting to appropriate services
- Early intervention: Free (NHS funded) one-to-one, parent-led guided self-help for parents who are starting to struggle with challenging behaviour and childhood anxiety.
-
