Who is ready for lighter nights? ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ
Remember to put your clocks forward 1 hour this Sunday morning. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธโœจ

โ˜€๏ธ More evening light is great, but that morning adjustment is tricky. Get outside early to help reset your body clock and boost your mood!

Yesterday, Kirsty dropped into Pen*stone Grammar School for lunch with the pupils, completing the last of her 6 drop-in sessions, which focused on peer pressure this final week.
As usual, she provided lots of activities and helpful resources for students to take away!

Kirsty will plan more drop-in sessions leading up to the summer break, so students should look out for the Compass be posters with dates in the library area. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿซถ

Happy International Day of Happiness ๐Ÿ˜Šโ˜€๏ธ

The theme this year is 'Social media and Happiness'. This highlights the challenges for our overall wellbeing and also ways that tech can be used for good!

Our top tips to keep your happiness on social media:
๐Ÿ‘ฅ Remember it's okay to unfollow social media accounts that negatively impact your mental wellbeing
๐Ÿ˜Instead follow positive accounts that inspire, educate and bring you joy
๐Ÿ“ฑTake breaks - you can set daily limits for social media platforms
Remember that social media accounts tend to show 'highlights' rather than reality

๐ŸŒžSometimes, social media can be overwhelming, so it's important to step away from our phones for a while and do something that brings us happiness. Whether that's taking a walk outside, listening to our favourite song on repeat or connecting with family or friends ๐ŸŒž

Senior Healthy Peer Relationship Practitioner Kirsty, a familiar face in our schools across the borough, has been in Outwood Academy Shafton this week delivering assemblies to all year groups around healthy peer relationships. Students were given the chance to think about their peer relationships, think about their own boundaries and how they respect others, and reflected on how the people we spend time with can potentially influence our behaviour, the way we think and even the way we see ourselves.
All students were very welcoming and respectful as always.
๐Ÿ“ฃWith a reach of over a 1,000 young people, Kirsty has successfully sparked meaningful discussion and encouraged vital reflection for many students around peer relationships.๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿฅฐ

This week, as part of our Compass Be team led CPD, our Specialist Mental Health Practitioner Ella showcased her creativity to demonstrate the benefits of Arts and Crafts in relation to:

๐ŸŽจStress reduction
๐ŸŽจEmotional expression
๐ŸŽจBenefits to mental health and self esteem
๐ŸŽจCognitive benefits
๐ŸŽจReducing social pressures of eye contact and body language in social interactions

The team had a go at making some bravery bracelets/bands, painting their calm space, making positive affirmation bubble bunting and creating personalised diaries, all of which Ella uses in her everyday sessions with young people.
It was clear that the activities created a calming space and gave the team a chance to come together and do something crafty.
๐Ÿ–ŒA lovely relaxing session, Thank you Ella! ๐Ÿ–Œ
