Emotional Well-being
Emotional Well-being and Mental Health at Greenfields Federation
At Greenfields Federation, we prioritise the emotional well-being and mental health of every child, to ensure they develop as well-rounded, happy and confident individuals who value who they truly are and understand how they relate to other people in an ever-changing world.
This year, we are working towards the Mental Health and well-being award in collaboration with the National Children’s Bureau in order to bring this to the forefront of all we do and embed this ethos throughout our Federation.
We recognise that post Covid, more children than ever before need increased emotional and mental health support and as parents it is not always easy to know where to go to get the correct support for your child.
We hope that this page is helpful in signposting you to some useful resources.

Local and National Provision
We are lucky to have a range of services both locally and nationally that can offer support and we have created a list of useful links for parents and students to help you to access the support you need.

You can find out more information about this via the Jigsaw website here:
Please remember, our door is always open and if you have concerns about your child please do speak to our Mental Health Leads, Mrs Saunderson and Miss Woodland, at any time.
