Dear Parents and Carers,
Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for Young Minds, the UK’s leading charity for young people’s mental health. No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why Hello Yellow matters.
We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never alone with their mental health. We’ll be taking part by inviting students to take part in activities during the school day such as our Hello Yellow Photo Booth and Kindness Pledges. Yellow accessories will also be available from our Wellbeing Ambassadors during form time.
You can also donate to support our school’s fundraising using the link - https://fundraise.youngminds.org.uk/fundraisers/EMSWellbeing/hello-yellow
Most importantly, we want to share the resources which Young Minds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your children.
This includes:
• online resources www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544)
• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your child’s mental health www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Hodgson
Academic Pastoral Lead
