Milford Haven School and Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen Mind marked World Mental Health Day with school award!
Every year we acknowledge World Mental Health Day on 10th October. World Mental Health Day is a chance to talk about mental health, how we need to look after it, and how important it is to get help if you are struggling.
At Milford Haven School and Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen Mind this is a part of every day!
We are proud to award Milford Haven School our first ever Mental Health Matters School Award. We’re very happy to recognise the whole school for their commitment to mental health awareness and support across pupils and staff. We also hope that seeing their success will encourage other local schools to get in touch about becoming a Mental Health Matters School!
Milford Haven School have been more than happy to invite Mind to school on more than a dozen different occasions this year. We feel it is important to work with amazing organisations like Mind to deliver mental health classes for every pupil in every year group.
We are also very grateful that Mind have attended wellbeing fayres and events to share information about local services and how they can help with not only pupils but our wider community. Representatives from Mind have also been invited to join in with alongside the entire staff team to receive trauma training.
Mind information is available every day throughout the school including quick tips on wellbeing topics like sleep, panic attacks, relaxation and more.
Our pupils’ mental health and wellbeing are of paramount importance. At Milford Haven School we have created a safe space where pupils are not only encouraged to flourish academically but are also supported throughout all of the challenges of their adolescent life. WE offer our pupils a diverse range of both internal and external services in the form of counselling, mentoring, PSE lessons, school nurse appointments and pupil and teacher led support groups. All of these services are available to every single child.
As a result of our ongoing and relentless commitment to pupil and staff wellbeing, we have been awarded the Mind Mental Health Matters Award. Our staff and pupils are proud to be one of the first schools in Pembrokeshire to have received this award.
