## Supporting your Child's Mental Health:

Below are some helpful charities that work to support you in helping your child to improve their mental health.

#### **Place2Be**

Below are some of the sections from the website which can offer support:

**Good Thinking**

[Looking out for Children and Young People](https://goodthinking-strapi.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/Parents_and_carers_looking_out_for_children_and_young_people_guide_ea4aec98af.pdf)- Free downloadable workbook created by London's digital mental wellbeing service Good Thinking. This workbook aims to help parents and carers support their child if they are struggling with their mental health.

## **Mindfulness**

**It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much.**

Paying more attention to the present moment – to your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you – can improve your mental wellbeing.

Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves better. Here at OGPS we embed mindfulness into our pupils' daily routines, to encourage children to pay attention to what is going inside, as well as outside.

***Below is a link to a short animation film (produced by Anna Freud Centre) made to help encourage discussions around mental health. This video aims to help children to understand what mental health is, and the difference between every day small feelings and big feelings.***
