Mental Health
At Northside Primary School we believe that a child's positive mental health is vitally important to support their learning. Below are some useful links and ideas for you and your child.
For some children and young people, behavioural or emotional problems will resolve with time, while others will need professional support.
It can be difficult to know if there is something upsetting a child or young person, but there are ways to spot when something's wrong. Look out for: significant changes in behaviour, ongoing difficulty sleeping, withdrawing from social situations, not wanting to do things they usually like, self-harm or neglecting themselves.
Remember, everyone feels low, angry or anxious at times. But when these changes last for a long time or are significantly affecting them, it might be time to get professional help.
