Dear parents and carers,
Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity for young people’s mental health.
No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why Hello Yellow matters. We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never alone with their mental health.
We’ll be taking part by:
• Baking and selling cakes for our young people to buy with their epraise
points
• Bounce and boogie in the sports hall
• Face masks and hot chocolates
• Learning about mental health through core lessons
• Wearing something yellow! Bonus points for students who wear the
most yellow!
Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your children.
This includes:
• online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/)
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544)
• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health (www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/).
Kind regards
Charlie Ennals
