Exercise lifts our mood and helps us to think clearly. This is one of the messages highlighted in What the Brain Needs to Learn and Develop. This PowerPoint contains information for parents and carers about supporting children’s learning.
At the end of 2019, as part of ongoing discussions about helping families to support pupils, Millburn Academy staff asked for information for the school website about supporting young people experiencing anxiety. Emma Campbell, Primary Mental Health Worker (PMHW) and Team Lead for the PMHW service, was doing some similar systemic work for Fortrose Academy. We decided to work together with Kirsty Jarvie, Children Services Worker (CSW), to make a resource that could be linked to school websites and easily shared as an early intervention. Having a mental health resource that is easy to share and access is especially important in a mostly rural area like Highland.

We hope this information is useful. Please let us know by using the comments if you have any feedback or ideas for improvement or further development.
