Margaret Baillie (Mental Health Support Worker) joined P6-7 over the last 2 weeks to help deliver sessions about Mental Health. Pupils participated in discussions about different types of mental health disorders, how they aren’t always visible to others, and why it’s good to talk if we’re worried about anything.
Pupils tried out different strategies for improving their mental health, such as breathing techniques and visualisation, and we enjoyed a good boogie to the song ‘Despacito’ to show how exercise can make us feel better.
The pupils were given some goodies and leaflets to take away, with top tips about maintaining positive mental health. Huge thanks to Margaret for giving up her time to come in and work with the class.
