At Rickleton we value the mental health of all of our children, staff and parents. As a trained lead, Mrs. O'Connor works with our new 'medics' each year to ensure they understand how to support children around school, in a variety of ways, linked to their emotions. 

The children furthered their understanding about mental health; how it can change throughout the day; what we can do ourselves to improve our mental health; signs when mental health isn’t good; and how we could support others.

The children took part in a range of activities to develop their understanding. They were able to make the links to the '5 ways to wellbeing'. They developed a toolkit of ideas to take notice of others then support them. The children will be supporting other children, guided by our Mrs. O’Connor.
