Children’s Mental Health Week

Make connections in Children’s Mental Health Week 6-12th Feb

This week we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week.  Mrs McMurdo will be speaking to us about it in Get2gether on Monday morning.  The theme for the week is Let’s Connect.  Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connectionsHuman beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.

As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Click the link below to find a range of free resources that you can access:

Winter Weather Support

We shared this with our families a couple of weeks ago, however I just wanted to put out a little reminder as this is a great opportunity to support our children and their families during this time of year. Any questions feel free to contact me on tracey.bradford@eastayrshire.org.uk ………..

Due to the rise in fuel bills and the recent cold weather, we at NCPS would like to offer our support to any of our families who might benefit from outdoor clothes, footwear,  and anything else to help with keeping warm. If you would like to access this support, or any other support which we might be able to provide please complete the attached form and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

A huge well done to you all!
