Mental Health and Well-Being
Its ok not to be ok..
Mental health challenges affect us all, and it’s okay to not be okay sometimes.
At SHINE Academies, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We are committed to creating a space where conversations about mental well-being are encouraged, respected, and supported. We are aware that children and adults can struggle to manage their own mental health, with this said our schools have the right support pathway in place to empower individuals with self-belonging.
We currently have 1 qualified Mental Health First Aid trainer, 6 Mental Health First Aid leads and 18 Mental Health First Aiders across the trust of schools. The team are dedicated to build a community of compassion, understanding, and strength. The team will raise awareness and provide and create an open, supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to seek help and practice self-care.
