Mental Health in Primary Schools

Dear Parents and Guardians,

My name is Ally Johnston, and I am excited to introduce myself as the Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) Leader. In this role, I am dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all our students, working closely with staff, students, and families to create a positive and nurturing school environment.

Mental health plays a vital role in a child’s learning, development, and overall happiness. My focus is to promote mental health awareness, provide early intervention strategies, and support the social and emotional wellbeing of our students. I am here to assist with any concerns you may have about your child's mental health and can offer guidance, resources, and support tailored to your family's needs.

If you ever have any questions, concerns, or would like to access mental health resources, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. Together, we can ensure that every child feels supported, safe, and ready to thrive. I will use this platform to share resources and up and coming workshops. Please access the link below that has a number of resources that you may find useful. It was developed last year by our previous Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) Leader Denise Hall.

I look forward to working with you throughout the year.

Warm regards,

Ally

Mental Health in Primary Schools Leader
