Supporting Your Child's Wellbeing

We are lucky to have support from the NELFT Emotional Wellbeing Team.  They can offer 1-1 parenting sessions or workshops on areas such as child anxiety or ASD.  Please talk to your child's class teacher or Mrs J Haile, our Family Support Worker, about how the team could support you and your child.

We have a teaching assistant, Mrs Jefferies, trained in Drawing & Talking therapy.  Drawing & Talking is the number one alternative to CBT and direct talking therapies, that can often be confronting or limiting in the processing of pain or trauma. As an attachment-based therapeutic intervention, Drawing and Talking Therapy is designed to complement CAMHS and other specialist therapies.

We also have a member of staff, Mrs McCallister, trained in ELSA. (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant)  She can work with individual or groups of children to support them in areas such as friendships, self esteem or anxiety.

The School Council have been working on developing, '16 things to do' before you leave Shears Green Infant School.  How many have you achieved?
