Open Parachute - Supporting Mental Health at Home

Open Parachute is an online platform that we are using as a school to dig deeper into student well-being. In class students view videos of age appropriate challenges faced by students, and are then provided with proven strategies by clinical psychologist Dr Hayley Watson. This creates proactive positive mental health, and comes from research designed to reduce incidents of a range of mental health challenges, potential conflict and bullying.

Below is a link to a learning module called "Supporting Mental Health at Home". It takes around 30 minutes to complete, with the learning objectives of :

• understand that you can play a vital part in supporting your child through mental health struggles
• practice the skills of normalising mental health conversations within the home & encouraging a growth mindset in your child
