@AHS_Wellbeing

Who do I approach?

Arrange to see the Wellbeing worker

We can organise a meeting with the Wellbeing worker if your needs cannot be met by the staff in school.


Refer to school health

Where appropriate we will refer to the school health professionals. They will advise us and you about the next best steps.


Refer to CAMHS

CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) are specialists in supporting students who have a Mental Health illness.

Chaplaincy team

Please either phone or email school and ask to speak a member of the Chaplaincy Team who will phone you back and offer support to you.


You can receive help from several different locations to school. These are:

Your doctor

If you recognise symptoms of any common mental health problem and are worried, or if you feel that something isn't right but you can't put your finger on why, we recommend that you speak to your GP.

It can be daunting to speak to someone that you may not know well about your mental health, but most people find that speaking to their GP and the help and support they receive from them, can make all the difference to their lives.
