Mental Health and Wellbeing

At Crawshaw Academy we believe that good health and wellbeing is essential for successful learning and happy lives for children and young people.

We want Crawshaw Academy to be a caring environment that enables learners to develop confidence and positive relationships based on mutual respect and to gain knowledge to make healthy lifestyle choices. Learning through health and wellbeing promotes confidence, independent thinking and positive attitudes and dispositions.

What to do if you need to speak to someone urgently...

If you are feeling very distressed or hopeless, talking to someone can help. You could try talking to a family member or friend, if this doesn’t feel right there are people who want to talk to you and can help.

You can contact NHS 111 either by calling or going online www.111.nhs.uk.

Have you hurt or injured yourself or know someone that has?

Are you or someone you know at immediate risk of hurting themselves or taking their own life?

Call 999 and ask for an ambulance, or go to A&E.
