St Vincent’s hosted the first forum of their mental health hub on 26.1.23 which was very positive and supported by Barnet Integrated Clinical Team (BICS) and the Resilient Schools Programme. Thank you to BICS, resilient schools and the senior mental health leads across Barnet who attended.
We discussed:
- The role of senior mental health leads
- What free provision we can use in schools
- How to use the DfE training in school
-Support with whole school mental health approach (from the DfE training).
- Support with tools to measure children and staff’s wellbeing
- Understand what additional support is needed for senior mental health leads
The next meeting will be in March, check our blog or the school circular for the next confirmed date. We hope to see you there!
*Please note: Primary and Secondary schools are welcome to attend and we encourage external agencies that support mental health and wellbeing in schools to email emma.scelsi@stvincents.barnet.sch.uk to attend the next one and/or find out more information.
