Mental Health Awareness week 2021

10th May 2021

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK. During the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of us, more than ever before, have experienced a mental health problem, or seen a loved one struggle.
At The Wensleydale school we have a range of support available to students who are finding life tough. We have a MIND counsellor who has weekly appointments slots, we access Early Help and have a range of in house strategies. However, it is vital that we all feel able to talk about how we are feeling and tutor time often gives students the time to do that.
Our Year 11 BTEC Music students have prepared a performance of ‘You Will Be Found’ from the musical Dear Evan Hansen to share the message that no matter what struggles you’re facing, despite how you may feel alone in the world, you’re not alone. There will be someone who will find you, someone to remind you that you’re not alone, and help you through your dark times. ‘You will be found’ the video can be accessed via our website
