Riverside Education – Mental Health First Aiders
At Riverside, looking after our student’s mental health is extremely important and as part of our drive to support all of our student emotional wellbeing, we have a dedicated team of Mental First Aiders.
Our mental health team will support our students to help them to ‘look after’ their mental health. They will work with students to help them to identify, and understand their mental health and work to develop positive strategies to help them to manage challenging situations.
Staff will work with students to:
- Teach students a range of practical strategies
- Help students to identity triggers
- Have ‘positive’ mental health conversations
- Use strategies to ‘destress’ and sooth
All students will have full access to the mental health first aid team.
