At Coleshill CE Infant School, we are committed to supporting the positive mental health and well-being of our whole school community including children, staff, parents and carers. We understand how important positive mental health and well-being is and strive to provide a supportive, caring and respectful environment where every child will feel happy and safe.

We work closely with the Mental Health Support Teams and work to provide children, parents and staff with the support they need. We do this through a range of workshops, presentations and training.

We work closely with our children to encourage them to be open about their feelings, to recognise the difference between mental and physical health and wellbeing and to provide them with strategies that they can use to help themselves and work towards building resilience.

We know that anyone in our community may need additional emotional support at any given time and have detailed below a wealth of resources to support families.

If you would like to make a referral for a child please see Mrs Hewat who is our Mental Health Lead.
