Mental Health and Wellbeing
As a service, the Mental Health Support Team (MHST) have pulled together a wide range of resources for all age groups that we hope you can use to help talk about stress and its effects with your young people, families and staff.
We are all undoubtedly going to experience stress and anxiety in our lifetime. We hope that by sharing some of these coping tools, it will help you to look after yourselves and practise some self-care, as well as showing compassion to others.
