Mental Health and Well Being

Mrs Martin (Toucan Class teacher) is our Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead at Melbourne Infant School. Please contact her through the school office if you would like any more information or support.

Our wellbeing provision map shows the types of support we can offer if we feel that a child needs some help and we work in partnership with families to decide on the next steps. This may sometimes include referral to other support agencies. Please let us know if you would like a copy.

In school we follow the SMILERS approach to Mental Health and Well Being with the children. Please click here to watch the SMILERS video. 

 

When families need support with mental health and well-being, we can signpost to services which can help. We work together to seek advice and find solutions. Some of these services are included on the links below:
