DHS Mental Health & Wellbeing

As #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek comes to an end, we're delighted to share our new animation on school counselling support in Stirling. Thanks to some amazing young people and our incredible team of school counsellors for helping to create it! youtu.be/l6mhoasbVcQ via @YouTube

It’s #TimeToTalk Day! ☕ Having a brew with a colleague or friend? 💬 That’s a perfect chance to open up about mental health so that we can support each other 👂 You don’t need a degree in listening to lend an ear Today, let someone know you’re there – it could change a life.

A new fund to support children's wellbeing has been launched. Community groups & charities supporting @StirlingCouncil children & families can apply to support the 5 ways to wellbeing. Find out more at stirling.gov.uk/wellbeingfund @brycath @SCS_Stirling

A coffee for a 10/10 colleague and pal. For always being supportive, listening when I need to vent(i) & making me laugh loads - thanks a latte! 😋☕️❤️ #5DaysOfKindness #AntiBullyingWeek

It’s #AntiBullyingWeek & this year’s theme is #OneKindWord. Our words are powerful - let’s choose them wisely. We’re spreading a little kindness through @DunblaneHS this week, starting with a cheery message (& some cheery chocolates) in Pupil Support ❤️ #5DaysOfKindness

Our school counselling room has had a makeover - what a lovely space for pupils to meet with Lisa & Debbie! Lisa has been working hard to make it extra cosy, & her hot chocolate station has been very popular this week! 😊☕
