Emotional Health & Wellbeing

In this theme, the school promotes positive emotional health and wellbeing to help pupils understand and express their feelings and build their confidence and emotional resilience and therefore their capacity to learn.

Promoting children and young peoples emotional health and wellbeing, is a whole school approach. The guidance from OHID presents eight principals to promote emotional health and wellbeing in schools.
