At Harefield School, we are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all our students. We understand that young people face various challenges, and we aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment where they feel heard and supported.
Our Support in School:
- School Counsellors – Our trained counsellors offer confidential support to students who need someone to talk to about their worries, emotions, or personal challenges.
- Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSAs) – Our ELSAs work with students to develop emotional resilience, self-esteem, and coping strategies.
- Mental Health Support Team (MHST) – We work closely with the MHST to provide early intervention and professional support for students struggling with anxiety, low mood, or other mental health concerns.
