Year 1 - RRRR |
In Year 1, students have been learning about stress management and help seeking. |
Why is it important? Stress Management: Stress is a normal part of life, especially as children get older. Children who cope better with life’s stressors develop good mental health and wellbeing. Assisting students recognise their personal signs and symptoms of stress to develop strategies that will help them to deal with those effectively, will help them cope with challenges in the future. Help Seeking: Children can experience all kinds of challenges as they grow and develop. The help-seeking behaviours of children are fundamental to their mental health and wellbeing. Encouraging and fostering help-seeking behaviours is one way to improve mental health and wellbeing. It is important to work with students to make sure they are aware of help-seeking avenues and are confident to seek help from an appropriate source when needed. |
