The aim of these sessions are to:

- Enable students to explore emotions, thoughts, behaviours and experiences
- Grow emotion regulation skills, including anger management
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms and grounding skills
- Encourage positive thinking and develop growth mindset
- Grow students’ confidence and understanding of themselves
- Empower students’ independence and decision-making skills
- Address past trauma and reduce the impact of emotional distress
- Enable students to identify and seek further support where required
We work closely with outside agencies, such as CYPMHS (formerly CAMHS), in order to ensure our students are able to access the support required where needed, including more intensive psychotherapeutic support, to ensure positive mental health and wellbeing is effectively achieved.
