Mental Health Awareness Week (12-18th May) This year, the week takes place from **12 to 18 May 2025** and the theme is **'community'**. We want to use this Mental Health Awareness Week to celebrate the power and importance of community. Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone. Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense purpose.

Your child screams, shouts, lashes out, sulks or generally acts in an unruly manner.** If that scene is familiar to you, you’re not alone. This type of behaviour is what some psychologists refer to as *‘after-school restraint collapse’* and it’s not unusual. It happens because your child has been busy managing their emotions all day as they navigate the complexities of school life. When they get home, that’s their safe space to let it all out! So, now you know what it is, what can you actually do about it? Parents’ Toolkit has been speaking to educational and child psychologist *Dr Anisa-Ree Moses*, for some tips on how to support these outbursts of emotions after-school.

They provide young carers with the tools to combat loneliness and through the School Support Programme will connect them with other young carers, increase their visibility in school and make sure their peers understand their roles. MYTIME will provide our school with teachers who will work collaboratively with us and embed a support programme that works for each individual carer. By recognizing the need for support allows young carers to achieve academic success and support both their mental and physical health. Young carers are given a voice about how they think they would benefit most. Schools are perfectly placed to provide support for young carers, due to the depth of relationships that exist between students and their teachers, school relationships with families and the role they play at the heart of their communities. If you think that your child may be classed as a young carer, please make contact with our school office so that we can offer you will more information.
