#GettingonBoard

Yesterday we attended Colchester Sixth Form's Charity Awareness Day!

We engaged in meaningful conversations with staff and students about the work we do, looking after yourself during exam season, glimmers and TikTok! A lovely event shared with other wonderful charities too.

The children in Years 1-4 enjoyed their assembly with Kids Inspire today, where they learnt all about what to do when we have a worry! They were really engaged and were keen to answer questions!

School absence has risen in recent years, and so has:

🔹Mental health problems
🔹Childhood poverty
🔹Waiting times for support
🔹Unmet SEND needs

This new report from Centre for Mental Health and Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition's explores this in further detail: cypmhc.org.uk/publications/n…

“Disordered eating serves as a coping mechanism for managing intense emotions. When someone develops disordered eating, it suggests they are facing significant emotional difficulties.”
