Mental Health Awareness week

By Mental health Lead, in SEND SUPPORT - Monday, 13 May 2024

This week is Mental Health awareness week and the focus is on 'movement for mental health'. There are lots of ways we enjoy movement at Fairland; dancing to music, playing at lunch time and taking on physical challenges. We will be talking this week about how doing more of what we enjoy makes us feel good. 

Why not think of ways you can be active as a family? Even better if you can get active outdoors! 

 

Here are some links to more information and inspirational stories about movement for your mental health:
