Men are less likely to seek help for mental health largely due to societal expectations. This image was created by one of our S3 boys in Media and I’m sure you will agree how powerful it is. #talkingtogether #itsokaynottobeokay amazing work! @PortobelloHigh @PortyEnglish @EDIPHS

Don’t underestimate the power of mindfulness! Pupils were able to learn a few techniques yesterday to focus & anchor themselves in the present moment. A powerful tool to deal with one’s own emotions 🧘🏻‍♂️ 🌱 #ReadyRespectfulSafe @PortobelloHigh #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters
