Self Care
Self Care
During these times of uncertainty, we have been delighted with the response from our young people to show kindness and compassion for others. The following documents were put together by one of our Year 13 pupils who is concerned that during this period of Self-Isolation some young people might begin to feel overwhelmed and anxious. She has created a helpful chart with directions to a useful website that you can print off and use as a method of practicing self-care. Thank you Ellen for all your hard work!
