GH Mental Health Ambassadors

At Gatehouse, we recognise the importance of positive mental health and wellbeing. As part of our Year 6 Leadership Responsibilities, we have a small group of Year 6 children who have been appointed as Mental Health Ambassadors. Their role is to raise awareness of mental health throughout the school and to provide opportunities for children to talk about their feelings. So far this year, the Mental Health Ambassadors have celebrated 'Children's Mental Health Week' by preparing a short assembly and sharing some useful resources with teachers. They have held 'Open Lunches', which are drop-in sessions over lunch times where children from all across the school can drop in, eat their lunch and play some games in a friendly and calming environment. More recently, they have been very excited to welcome our school therapy dog, Blossom, who they will work closely with over the coming months.
