Many thanks to Margaret Baillie (Primary Mental Health Support Worker) for joining P5-7 in class the last two Tuesdays and leading the pupils in discussion about mental health, discrimination and stigma. The boys and girls have demonstrated a very responsible and mature attitude when discussing health issues which are not always visible to others looking on. We have chatted about emotions and why it is good to share any worries and concerns. The pupils also thought about songs and activities which they might turn to if they were ever feeling a bit out-of-sorts.
The boys and girls have got a little leaflet pack home with them with some hints and tips about maintaining a positive mental health. It really is good to talk!
