Wellbeing at TPS

Additional Wellbeing Supports for all TPS Families

 

We all have good days and bad days. Then there are those days when something isn't quite right, you've got something on your mind, or things just seem too much.

It can make a real difference having someone to talk to. To hear what you have to say. And to give you advice. At Teesdale PS, we’re committed to supporting the wellbeing of our whole school community. A range of free and accessible services are available for families who may need additional support, advice, or someone to talk to.
