Further information, how to access the booking system and a guide on how to make appointments have been emailed to Year 10 parents via the schoolcomms app.

YHT WELLBEING

During Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 we are pleased to launch our YHT Wellbeing site. Here you will find support and resources linked to Covid-19 but also in regards to mental health and wellbeing in general. You will also find resources and site recommendations to support home learning.

You can find the site at; https://sites.google.com/yht.wales/yhtwellbeing/home or alternatively through the link on our schools web page.

The website provides self-help information, handy toolkits, a directory of school services and Covid-19 advice. The YHT wellbeing page is different to other websites in that it provides pupils and parents with self-help guidance and information about different aspects of mental health difficulties and supports them to make the decision about whether they may need help from a professional service.

If you are concerned about your child’s mental health and feel you need more specialist support or advice, you can access the site and make referrals to specialist staff who will support you and any concerns you may have.

Please stay connected with us by following our school web page, where we post regularly.
