Dear parents and carers,

Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity for young people’s mental health.

No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why Hello Yellow matters. We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to come together and show our students that we’re with them, and they’re never alone with their mental health.

We’ll be taking part by encouraging all staff to wear Yellow to raise awareness for young people’s mental health and using form time to go over the importance of Mental health and how to seek support.

Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your children. This includes:

• online resources www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544)
• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained
• professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/
