Mental Health and Well Being at The Harbour School

Student wellbeing is a priority at The Harbour School. We understand the pressures that school life as well as outside factors can place on our young people.

We actively encourage our students to talk to someone about their feelings, to put matters into perspective and release tension.

Within the school, students are able to talk to their tutor, Head of Campus, Phase Leader, Safeguarding and Attendance Lead or any member of staff they comfortable speaking with.

If you have concerns about your child or your child feels they would benefit from additional support there are many places that can help:

Mental health – Let’s talk about it

Mental health affects how well we feel, and how we cope with the obstacles and challenges we face in life.

Some young people experience mental health difficulties and the symptoms can interfere with their day-to-day life. Mental health difficulties can affect things like your concentration, your relationships and your ability to communicate with others or get to school or college.

Mental health difficulties can affect anyone – it’s not the person’s fault and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Seeking help is the first and most critical step towards recovery

If you continue to struggle, and especially if you have any thoughts about hurting yourself, speak to a member of school staff or ask your parent/carer to book a GP appointment for you.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone directly, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 or Childline on 0800 1111.

Remember there shouldn’t be any shame in asking for help, in fact it’s a sign of courage.
