World Mental Health Day 2022

Monday 10 October 2022 is World Mental Health Day, focussing on 'Making mental health and wellbeing for all, a global priority.'

Here at Cardinal Newman Catholic School, we take the Wellbeing of our students very seriously and offer various support for those that might need it.

I need to talk...

We offer a service for students to fill out a form to let someone know about their worries, for both themselves and others around them. A member of staff will then get back to the student to discuss their worries. Alternatively, we have a great support network around the school. Students can speak to:

• Form tutor

• Head of House

• Matron

• The Chaplain, Jane Noble

• The school nurse who is in every Thursday

For urgent support regarding your child’s emotional mental health and wellbeing, call Specialist CAMHS on 0300 304 0061 between 08:30 am – 4:00 pm.

Wellbeing email

Students can email wellbeing@cncs.co.uk if they have any concerns.

5 ways to Wellbeing

We must take care of ourselves as well as others. Here are five tips to help you look after your wellbeing:

1. CONNECT - Talk & listen, be there, feel connected

2. TAKE NOTICE - Remember the simple things that give joy

3. KEEP LEARNING - Embrace new experiences, see opportunities, surprise yourself

4. GIVE - Your time, your words, your presence

5. KEEP ACTIVE - Do what you can, enjoy what you do, move your mood
