Turning #BlueMonday to #BrewMonday - one cuppa at a time! ☕ Inspired by Samaritans, we're making sure that instead of claiming the day to be blue, our Wellbeing Leads are welcoming students to their Wellbeing Hubs to hang out and chat while enjoying a warm cuppa together 💚

Inspired by Place2Be #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek's theme - Know Yourself, Grow Yourself - our Wellbeing Lead at St Mary's College, placed a mirror in their Wellbeing Hub for students to write affirmations on it to inspire and motivate them. What would you write on it? 🪞✨

Last week, our team was delighted to attend the College Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Symposium at the Atlantic Technological University.

Mini Me figures 🧍🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ Students at SPBCollegeClaudy have been enjoying creating their own mini-me figures. In this workshop led by their Wellbeing Lead, Blínne, the students worked on topics of self-esteem, self-care, self-expression and self-identity while creating these.

Well done to our Year 13 students who completed their six-week Mental Health Ambassador programme which aims to provide information and awareness around issues such as stigma, stereotyping, empathy and self-care. (1/2)

We look forward to hearing from the students and the findings! 👏

Some of our year 14 students enjoying their last wellbeing session in The Hub, talking about their favourite memories of the past 7 years at school and reading some positive affirmations. With sad endings, come beautiful new beginnings and for that we are grateful. 😊
