--- title: "Mental Health and Well-being" url: "https://www.eddiversity.com/safeguarding/mental-health-and-well-being" school: "Educational Diversity" --- # Mental Health and Well-being ## Mental Health Support At Educational Diversity, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellness for our whole school community. The Department for Education (DfE) recognises that: “schools have a role to play in supporting children to be resilient and mentally healthy”. At Educational Diversity we believe children’s mental health is a crucial factor in their overall wellbeing and impacts significantly upon their learning, relationships and outcomes in later life. We are supported by the SHINE Mental Health Support Team and have a YouTherapy therapist in school 5 days a week to support our students. There are also other services available to support our students: #### CAMHS The child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) for Blackpool.
