Mental Health Awareness Week 11- 17th May
Next week is National Mental Health Week.
Looking after the Mental Health of both staff and students at BMS and is often a focus in PSHE lessons, Themes of the Week and assemblies.
The theme this year is ‘action’. 
In last week’s assembly I spoke to the students about breaking big tasks into smaller chunks, taking action for 10 minutes and letting the momentum carry them forward.
 
This time of year we tend to see a spike in students coming to see us with exam related stress.
Coping with exam stress Please click on the link for hints and tips about working through exams with your children.
Everyone has mental health and it will fluctuate daily, weekly and monthly. It is important we recognise the signs of our mental health dipping and act to boost it.
If our mental health dips further it is important we get help. Please follow the links to additional support and services.
