We do this through our whole school agenda of an inclusive, safe and happy environment for all to thrive. We are proud of our ‘Mental Health Toolkit’ and are constantly reviewing and informing our practise to best meet the needs of our pupils and their families ## Support for Parents and Carers ### Local Mental Health and Wellbeing Providers #### [I Want To Talk - Young People \| Northorpe Hall Child and Family Trust Kirklees](https://www.northorpehall.co.uk/i-want-talk-young-people) ### Wellbeing Websites #### [Talking to your child about feelings - NHS (www.nhs.uk)](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/children-and-young-adults/advice-for-parents/talk-to-children-about-feelings/) #### [Childline \| Childline](https://www.childline.org.uk/) #### [YoungMinds \| Mental Health Charity For Children And Young People \| YoungMinds](https://www.youngminds.org.uk/) #### [Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families](https://www.annafreud.org/) #### [5 steps to mental wellbeing - NHS (www.nhs.uk)](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/self-help/guides-tools-and-activities/five-steps-to-mental-wellbeing/) #### [MindEd For Families](https://www.mindedforfamilies.org.uk/young-people) ### Support for Sleep #### [Learn about early years sleeping patterns \| Early Years in Mind \| Anna Freud Centre](https://www.annafreud.org/early-years/early-years-in-mind/common-difficulties/sleep/) #### [Children - The Sleep Charity](https://thesleepcharity.org.uk/information-support/children/) ### Anxiety #### [Anxiety in early years children \| Early Years In Mind \| Anna Freud Centre](https://www.annafreud.org/early-years/early-years-in-mind/common-difficulties/anxiety/) #### [What is Anxiety? \| Symptoms of Anxiety & Getting Help \| YoungMinds](https://www.youngminds.org.uk/young-person/mental-health-conditions/anxiety/) #### [How to help with separation anxiety \| Early Years in Mind \| Anna Freud Centre](https://www.annafreud.org/early-years/early-years-in-mind/common-difficulties/separation-anxiety/) ### Supporting Low Self Esteem #### [Raising low self-esteem - NHS (www.nhs.uk)](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/self-help/tips-and-support/raise-low-self-esteem/) #### [Your Child's Self-Esteem (for Parents) - Nemours KidsHealth](https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/self-esteem.html) #### [Self-Esteem & Mental Health \| Guide For Parents \| YoungMinds](https://www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/parents-a-z-mental-health-guide/self-esteem/) #### ### Depression in Children #### [Depression in children and young people - NHS (www.nhs.uk)](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/children-and-young-adults/advice-for-parents/children-depressed-signs/) #### ### Eating Disorders #### [Overview – Eating disorders - NHS (www.nhs.uk)](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/feelings-symptoms-behaviours/behaviours/eating-disorders/overview/) ### Bereavement Support #### [Supporting A Bereaved Child \| Winston's Wish Bereavement Service (winstonswish.org)](https://www.winstonswish.org/supporting-you/supporting-a-bereaved-child/) #### [Supporting bereaved children and young people \| Child Bereavement UK](https://www.childbereavementuk.org/supporting-bereaved-children-and-young-people) #### [Home - Cruse Bereavement Support](https://www.cruse.org.uk/) ### Our School - [Welcome](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/welcome) - [Our School Vision and Aims](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/our-school-vision-and-aims) - [Meet the Staff](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Meet the Governors](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/governors) - [The Mast Academy Trust](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/the-mast-academy-trust) - [Policies](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/policies) - [SEND](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/send) - [Payments](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/payments) - [Sporting Events](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/sporting-events) - [Extra-curricular](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/extra-curricular) - [School community](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/school-community) - [Gallery](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/photo-galleries) - [Vacancies](https://www.themast.co.uk/job-vacancies) - [Out of School Club](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/out-of-school-club) - [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/mental-health-and-wellbeing) ![Birdsedge First School](https://files.schudio.com/birdsedge-first-school/images/logo/Screenshot_2023-11-21_at_13.17.03.png) Penistone Road Birdsedge, Huddersfield UK HD8 8XR [01484 605441](tel:01484605441) ## Useful Links: [Term Dates](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/termdates) [Curriculum](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/curriculum) [Policies](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/our-school/policies) © Copyright 2020–2026 Birdsedge First School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.birdsedgefirst.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
