Mental Health

At Woodchurch CEP School, we care deeply about the mental health and wellbeing of our pupils and their families. We know that life can present challenges — from day-to-day worries to difficult situations — and we want to ensure you have access to support, advice, and resources whenever you need them.

Below, you’ll find a collection of websites, activities, videos, and helplines to help you support your child’s mental health, build resilience, and find help in times of difficulty.
