Our wonderful headstarters completed their Bronze and Silver award, learning how to become mental health champions within their school.
They covered many areas that affect our well-being such as their feelings, coping strategies, self-care, friendships, physical health, loneliness and stigma around mental health.
Our HeadStarters were so enthusiastic and couldn’t wait to share their passion for positive mental health and well-being.
‘As Headstarters we were very excited to start our own club called ‘Wellbeing Club’. We announced it during our Mental Health Week assembly. Our first session was very successful, even though it was sunny weather! We have a special place where people can come and talk to a Headstarter about any of their worries – we’ve called it the ‘talk it out table’! We can’t wait to hold more sessions.

The group continues to share their updates in their newsletter, meeting up every week to continue sharing their passion for positive mental health and wellbeing.
