It's baaaaaaaaaack!!! We're holding our next brilliant Bat & Chat session on Friday 13th March, 3.30-4.30pm in the school hall.

The club is open to older local residents, and we'd especially love to see some RMPA grandparents there!

Anyone who is feeling a little isolated and would enjoy spending time with others (or just wants to try their hand at some table tennis) will have a very warm welcome 😊

Please share with anyone you think may be interested. Contact us if you need further details x

Children’s Mental Health Week is a reminder of how important it is that every child and young person feels supported, understood and able to thrive emotionally.

For disabled children and young people, or those with additional needs, mental health can be affected by many things, including access to the right support, experiences in education, health needs, sensory challenges, and feeling different or misunderstood.

If you’re worried about your child or young person’s mental health, these organisations offer trusted information and specialist support:

YoungMinds offers advice and support for children, young people and parents: https://f.mtr.cool/liyrsqlxpj

Mind offers information, guidance and local mental health services: https://f.mtr.cool/pmrirwamci

Beat offers support for eating disorders, including help for families: https://f.mtr.cool/pnxocgigyp

And because children’s wellbeing is closely connected to the wellbeing of the adults caring for them, support for parent carers matters too.

At Contact, we’re here to support the whole family. We offer:

💬 Listening Ear - a chance to talk things through with someone who understands life as a parent carer: https://f.mtr.cool/trlenrfrru
📞 Our free information & advice helpline - providing information and advice on education, benefits, health and social care (Call 0808 808 3555): https://f.mtr.cool/hpbfhvruvi

Looking after your own wellbeing isn’t separate from supporting your child, it’s part of it 💚
