So many ways to get involved and become a Bridge the Gap school!

Hugely grateful to Jen & Nikki from Bridge the Gap Child Mental Health who spoke so brilliantly to our Year 10 pupils about managing anxiety in tutor period this morning. They gave so many practical tips for maintaining good mental health & the pupils listened superbly. A really important session.

We caught up with Lee Attenborough following victory today.

I’m so absent from this platform & LinkedIn right now but it’s because I’m so busy developing & sharing our community projects. We are doing what we set out to do at the beginning of last year & it doesn’t stop there! There’s never been a better time to become a BTG school 🌈💚

We are really excited to get this space up and running for children. A lot of work still do to however, and only 30 days left on our Crowdfunder page. Please help by donation or sharing the following: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/bridge-the-g… Many thanks! Jennifer Wyman Nikki Webster - Bridge the Gap

🌈 Yesterday, we were delighted to #WearARainbow for #DerbyCares and Bridge the Gap Child Mental Health 🍰 We also had a cake sale and held a raffle and raised £244 for this amazing charity, who support the mental health and well-being of children, young people and their parents and teachers.

Back at the library today. Jennifer Wyman read Bea’s Bad Day to local children. Lots of exploring emotions & excellent problem solving chat from these amazing pre-school children! Each child took home a pocket hug to help them on their own bad day Derby Libraries #DerbyCares 🌈

The idea that support is only for children who have “mental health issues” is deeply ingrained, it couldn’t be further from the truth. We don’t teach a child to swim because they’re drowning. It’s a proactive step & early intervention & emotional learning is no different ♥️
