Mr Rigby: positive mental health and wellbeing

Welcome to Mental Health and Wellbeing webpage with Mr Rigby. You might not have met me before as I only starting working for Outwood Schools in September 2019.

The best part of my role as the Director of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities is that I get to learn about what makes us all different! Now it's your turn to learn about why it's great to be different, how the brain works and all the things we can do to feel calm, happy and relaxed. Learn about how can be in control over feeling fantastic so that we can enjoy every day and that mistakes are a great chance to learn and become resilient!

Watch this introduction video to help you learn about what 'mental health' is. Understand the difference between every day small feelings and those big feelings that we all sometimes get!
