Here at Berry Hill we believe passionately in the value of children learning how to support positive mental health.  We want them to understand that times can be challenging in all our lives, but that we can do something about it!  Our proactive approach has led to us achieving our Mental Health Champions Award, of which we are very proud!  

Support for wellbeing and positive mental health education is woven throughout our provision - through the Curriculum, in assemblies, special events (such as World Mental Health Day), and we also hold workshops for families.  Below are just some of the ways that we help our children to understand more about wellbeing and mental health. 

The recent Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in heightened concern about mental health for many.  The NHS has developed the following site to advise parents and families on supporting their children's mental health.  Check it out for some excellent information and guidance:
