Mental Health and Wellbeing
Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of pupils is at the heart of our community in Drumchapel High School.
There are a wide variety of supports available to pupils at all stages, ranging from wellbeing activities in school to more intensive supports from outside agencies.
We have produced a new information leaflet to help parents and families understand what supports there are for young people who may be struggling with their mental health.
