World Mental Health Day - Hello Yellow

On Friday 13th October, William Byrd wore yellow to raise awareness of how to look after our mental health on World Mental Health Day. 

Lots of activities took place throughout the school to encourage talking about our mental health and showing everyone that mental health matters. 

Mrs Houston and Miss Verone held a drop-in session where children could come to talk about their feelings and learn what they can do to have happy and healthy minds.

Our Young Carers also made Chatter Boxes to encourage conversation and help them manage their feelings.

Minded has lots of helpful advice and information for families https://mindedforfamilies.org.uk/young-people/

If you feel that your child would benefit from mental health support in school please contact Mrs Houston elsa@williambyrd.school
