Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health (EWMH) Support

Hinchley Wood School is committed to supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of all our children in school.  As well as the support offered by our Pastoral Care Team – see Pastoral Care pages – our EWMH Team is a group of adults who can offer support for individuals or small groups of students through targeted emotional wellbeing  and mental health support interventions.

All requests for additional EWMH support must have the support of the child and parent/carer and are triaged by our Intervention Assessment Team.  This is made up of inclusion, safeguarding and pastoral staff and allows us to ensure that the support we offer is the most appropriate for the student.  Should you have any concerns about your child’s mental health or wellbeing please contact their Form Tutor or Head of Learning in the first instance.

 

Some of the people in the EWMH Team include:

  • Mrs K Cullen, Senior Mental Health Lead
  • Mrs H Trafford-Dear, Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead
  • Ms N Stevenson, Safeguarding Student Support
  • Miss L Rebai and Mrs C Misto, ELSAs  - offer a 6 week programme of targeted Emotional Literacy support
  • Ms S Bates, Body and Identity Coach – supports with self-esteem, body confidence and identity
  • Mrs J Hales, Early Intervention Coordinator, East to West - works on behalf of Mindworks Surrey to provide one-to-one relational support early interventions.
  • Education Mental Health Practitioners and Senior Clinicians, Elmbridge Mental Health Support Team  - work on behalf of Mindworks Surrey to offer CBT based early interventions for mild to moderate anxiety based difficulties or low mood.  They also offer group interventions.

 

Safeguarding and Wellbeing Resources and Support

We all need some support from time-to-time to keep us safe and to help us manage our mental health and wellbeing.  As well as the support we can offer in school – please refer to the EWMH section - there is wealth of information and support available from a range of local and national organisations.

Here are a selection of resources available to young people, their parents and carers that we hope you will find helpful.  Please contact your child’s Head of Learning if you would like further signposting for a specific issue.

Please note, in an emergency you must call 999/111 or visit A&E.
