Had a fantastic morning yesterday sharing about my ASIST training with our mental health ambassadors! Great group of students and staff to work with Kirkcaldy High School!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! We hope you are managing to enjoy the sun today! Here is a little update on how the Maths Department Kirkcaldy High School will be providing learning during school closures. If you have any issues, jut let us know!

Making sure all of our learners are remembering to look after themselves using the 5 Ways!

Delighted to have been recognised alongside Katastrophe and @SimplyEmmaNess for our work related to pupil and teacher mental health! Thank you Tracy Stewart, Katie Cebula and Frances Griffin for your expertise and guidance throughout! #StudentAwards20

Well done and thank you Katie Cebula, Tracy Stewart, Frances Griffin, @SimplyEmmaNess and Katastrophe for being a great team! #StudentAwards20

Wee bit good news...loved working with Lizzie Hay, Katastrophe, @SimplyEmmaNess, Tracy Stewart & Frances Griffin from Place2Be Scotland on this pupil mental health project and so pleased to have won this Edinburgh University Students' Association award. Didn't wear jammies to the awards ceremony (honest).

Aww WOW, congratulations you guys & all who were part of this Edinburgh University Students' Association !Genuinely honoured to have been part of this project with an incredible group of future teachers,can’t wait to come back again when #lockdown is over. Now more than ever #SuicidePrevention is vital.

Thank you KHS LGBT+ for helping us to look after ourselves over the last week with your suggestions for the Kirkcaldy High School Wellbeing Challenge! It is now my turn for the next 7 days - I will be posting a suggestion for how to take care of yourself each day! @MentalKHS #Wellbeing

It has been really nice to read this newsletter from @gillianwood2018 about the #KHSSerenityGarden! What a fantastic group of young people and staff who have created this garden! Can't wait to see it when we return!

I have really enjoyed sharing ideas for wellbeing this week but it is time to pass over the baton for the Kirkcaldy High School Wellbeing Challenge to Christine Paterson (counsellor with DAPL at KHS) who will continue the challenge over the next week @gillianwood2018 🌟☀️ @MentalKHS

'Place2Think provided me with the opportunity to take a step back, speak about my experiences & receive guidance from a mental health clinician on how to support my learners but also how to look after myself' Lizzie Hay describes Place2Think👌 More info 👉 bit.ly/2KKVl64

Thank you Kirkcaldy High School for the kind words and providing so many fantastic opportunities for me to be involved in! Thanks also to the The General Teaching Council for Scotland for asking me to share my experiences!
