Broxtowe MHST: Supporting Wellbeing Across Our School
We are delighted to be working with the Broxtowe Mental Health Support Team (MHST) to deliver a whole-school programme that promotes positive mental health, resilience and emotional wellbeing for all our pupils. The MHST will be working with every year group throughout the year, offering age-appropriate sessions that help children understand their emotions and develop lifelong skills for managing them.
This week, the team began to work with pupils in Year 3 & Year 4:
-
Year 3 – Managing Emotions
Pupils learnt to recognise different feelings, understand what might cause them, and use simple strategies to stay calm and in control. These sessions help children develop early emotional awareness and confidence in expressing how they feel. In addition, Year 3 also spent some time looking at a Sleep Workshop, designed to encourage healthy sleep patterns and the importance of getting enough sleep. (See link below) -
Year 4 – Managing Worries
Children explored what worry is, why it happens, and how they can use practical tools to manage anxious thoughts. The sessions are designed to build resilience and support pupils in developing healthy thinking habits.
As the year progresses, the MHST will continue to work with all year groups, with the programme forming an important part of our whole-school commitment to supporting children’s wellbeing, helping every pupil to feel safe, confident and ready to learn.
