NHS Education Wellbeing Service

As a school, we are supported by the NHS Wave 6 Merton Mental Health Support Team. The team, which includes a clinical psychologist and Education Wellbeing Practitioners, offers:

• workshops and webinars on mental health and parenting
• signposting to appropriate services
• free one-to-one, parent-led guided self-help programmes for parents/carers

Parenting can often feel hectic, without enough time to think about what you’re doing to get the best out of your child.  It is easy to become stuck in a cycle of reacting to children’s emotions and behaviour in the moment without having the space to think proactively about how you’re managing them and setting them up to do well.  We work with parents to help them to understand their children’s feelings and behaviour patterns and put in place effective strategies so that family life can feel calmer and happier.

If you would like more information about their work, please contact your child’s teacher or Miss Cronin (Assistant Head - SEN and Mental Health).  You can also email the team directly: Wave6MertonMHST@swlstg.nhs.uk
