Mental Health and Well-being

The World Health Organisation states that "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" and that "mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community."

Mental health and well-being are fundamental to our collective and individual ability as humans to think, feel, interact with each other, earn a living and enjoy life and the promotion, protection and restoration of mental health is a vital concern of individuals and communities. At Wadebridge School we feel that good mental health and well-being can best be realised through creating a whole school culture that seeks to promote positive relationships throughout our community and implementing targeted and specific actions to promote the health and well-being of our students, parents and staff. In order to help us achieve this we are using the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mantal Health in Schools award as a recognised and respected quality mark in this area. More details of this scheme can be accessed here.

Headmeds is a website designed to give information relating to mental health conditions and medication.

Young Minds provides a wide range of resources for professionals, pupils and parents.

Schools in Mind is a free network for school staff and other professionals with a range of resources regarding well being and mental health issues that affect schools.
