Wellbeing Book Club

The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is excited to introduce its newest project. A wellbeing book club!

Reading is a great way to relax and has positive benefits for our mental health too! Research has found that reading helps to reduce stress, increase concentration and combat insomnia. Reading with your child not only strengthens the parent-child bond but also helps children to develop empathy and emotional awareness, teaching children that it is okay to feel emotions and how to cope with their feelings in healthy ways.

What’s not to love?
At the start of each school term we will be releasing a MHST Book Club Newsletter which will have 4 book recommendations (don’t worry you don’t have to read them all!) that deal with the topic of mental health and wellbeing for all ages, along with some conversational prompts and questions to get you thinking!

Looking Ahead Workshop

We understand that that moving on from Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) can be unsettling and the period of change can cause lots of worries for you.
In June 2024, Hertfordshire’s CYPMHS conducted a short survey asking young people what would help them to prepare for these changes and make the transition easier.
From the 130+ responses we received; we have put together a “Looking Ahead” workshop for 16-18 year olds at the Herts Haven Cafe. It will include information about free adult support available, ways to look after yourself and how to ask for help.

Dates for the sessions are:

Wednesday 13th November 5-7pm in Stevenage

Monday 11th November in Watford

Thursday 14th November in Hemel Hempstead

If you are interested in attending, or would like more information, please contact us on cyp@hertsmindnetwork.org

5 Ways to Wellbeing

The Nobel 5 Ways to Wellbeing

  • Keep learning – Lessons, hobbies, extracurricular, anything that interest you.
  • Connect – It’s good to talk!
  • Take Notice – time for you, reset and go again.
  • Give.
  • Be Active – stay fit and strong, exercise improves mood.

Parenting can be a challenge, but Nessie can help!

Helping young people to overcome worries and problems can be difficult for parents/carers to manage, especially at this time of year when young people are going back to school or college, or if other changes are happening. It can often be helpful to talk these issues through with someone who understands and knows what might help.

This autumn Nessie’s free (NHS funded) Parenting Support Service is offering a range of support for parents of children who might be struggling to attend school or college, self-harming, experiencing bullying or any other problems that are adversely affecting their emotional wellbeing/mental health:

The Hertfordshire’s Young People’s Health and Wellbeing 2024 Survey is still open and will close on December 20th, we would like to invite the pupils at Nobel School to participate as we would like to capture the health and wellbeing needs of young people in the county and your individual school.

The link to the survey is below the poster opposite, alternatively please find a QR code in the top right hand corner and a short animation for young people. 

We aim to get as many young people as possible completing the survey. Last year we had over 16,000 submissions which would not be possible without your support.

If Nobel school completes more than 100 Surveys, they will receive an individualised data report which will be more detailed the higher of surveys submitted. 

Thank you for your support and we look forward to receiving your completed surveys.

Understanding Emotional Based School Avoidance & Guide for Parents (EBSA)

This guidance is primarily aimed at parents and carers of children who are at the early stages of EBSA – those for whom school is just beginning to be a major source of anxiety and attendance a cause for concern. The strategies discussed may be less relevant to children who have not attended school for considerable periods of time due to their very severe anxiety. These young people may need the support of health professionals to manage their anxiety before they are able to make a successful return to education
