Here at Birkenhead High School Academy, we are marking World Mental Health Day this Friday, October 10th, by reaffirming our commitment to the wellbeing of every student. This day is an important opportunity to encourage open conversations and ensure our entire school community knows where to turn for support. We want to highlight a vital resource for families from the charity Young Minds, whose message to parents and carers is clear: "No matter what your child is going through, we’re with you."

For free, confidential advice, you can call their Parents Helpline on 0808 802 5544 or visit youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline.
