INTRODUCING OUR SCHOOL COUNSELLOR - 05/02/25

As part of our activities for Children’s Mental Health Week, our School Counsellor, Miss Rowinski, hosted a pop-up stand on Tuesday, 4th February in the B-Block canteen during lunchtime. Students had the opportunity to drop in, learn about the support available, and collect useful resources and signposting information.

Miss Rowinski thoroughly enjoyed interacting with so many students and said:

All the children were so engaged with the leaflets, handouts and comfort cards. A lot of students approached me, and it was an open platform for the students to talk about their experiences of Mental Health and Wellbeing. 

Resources

The Strength Exploration worksheet was perfect for this year's theme 'know yourself, grow yourself', as the worksheet is about reflecting on who you are and how others see you.

The Healthy vs. Unhealthy Coping Strategies worksheet is invaluable as it helps young people recognise healthy ways to cope with their emotions. 

Comfort Card information is available on the link below.

Miss Rowinski provides confidential support to students who may be struggling with their emotional wellbeing. She also works in partnership with The Lowdown, the NHS Mental Health Support Team, and JOGO to ensure students receive the right support.

Parents and carers who have concerns about their child’s mental health can contact Miss Rowinski to arrange a Teams meeting or phone call for guidance.
