There are many sources of support within school:

• Form Tutor and your Head of Year team are available to discuss any issues. Many things can cause a change in mental health including traumatic events (e.g. loss or separation, life changes, abuse, domestic violence or bullying).
• Regular Assemblies and Morning Guidance activities which cover aspects of mental health and wellbeing and support building resilience.
• Ethics staff will cover mental health and wellbeing in your lessons
• Mr Weller, Safeguarding Officer offers support to students on wellbeing on a 1:1 or small group basis.
• Our School Nurse and Achievement Support Counsellor are all in school on a regular basis to offer students support on wellbeing and mental health.  Your HOY Team can refer you.
• Wellbeing Surveys to ask you for your thoughts and ideas regarding wellbeing.
• Student leaders and Anti-bullying Ambassadors can also help you to get support from staff in school.
• PRIDE group (supporting LGBTQ+ students) – if you feel this is something for you, please contact Mrs Mellon: cmellon@brinsworth.rotherham.sch.uk
• Any member of staff you feel comfortable talking to, will help you or you can contact Mrs Birch.
