Creating an environment that nurtures pupil mental health and wellbeing is a key priority for us at NHEHS. One of our investments to help us do this, is The Wellbeing Hub, which has been developed by child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing experts, Teen Tips.

All NHEHS parents are entitled to free access to the interactive online portal, designed to help understand and meet your daughter’s social and emotional needs. Parents can log into the Wellbeing Hub here.

• Complete Parenting Teens and Parenting 2-12’s Audio & Video Courses

The Wellbeing Hub for Pupils
Our pupils also have access to The Wellbeing Hub via two different platforms, one for those aged 10-13 and one for those aged 13+, with resources tailored specifically to support them with their mental health and wellbeing. The Wellbeing Hub for pupils includes Answers – a huge bank of Q&As on a wide range of topics, Top Tips – short films, blogs, and tip sheets on all manner of themes, Self-Care – an area to find positivity, inspiration, good news and more and Futures – Careers Advice and Inspiring Futures Podcasts. There is also a Help Zone – with links to specialist organisations if extra support or advice is needed plus access to our Wellbeing Ambassadors Programme for Pupils, encouraging them to champion their own and their peers’ wellbeing.

There is a different monthly theme covered each month. Coming up, we have: January – Social media and mental health, February – Friendships and relationships, March – Addiction and April – Neurodiversity.
