At the bottom of the page you will find some information about 'emotion coaching'. At Chapel End Primary School we are committed to helping children to understand and manage tehir feelings and emotions. We have recently undertaken whole staff training on using 'emotion coaching' to help us to address children's feelings and emotions more effectively. We wanted to share this information with you, as it may also be helpful for you to use at home. If require any further information please come and see Mrs Montrose or Mrs Knowles.
Emma Stewart is our Mental Health Support Worker
My name is Emma Stewart and I am an Educational Mental Health Practitioner as part of the St. Helens Mental Health Support Team. I will be working within your child’s school to support good mental health and wellbeing for all young people, inline with the Government Green paper ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ (2017). Our aim is to promote good mental health, support teachers, pupils, and parents with any specific needs, teach tools and skills, offer resources and advice, and embed a positive attitude and ethos towards mental health within the schools that I support.
I have a background in Primary teaching and taught for many years through KS1 and Early Years in the St. Helens Local Authority, which led to my interest and passion for supporting young people with their wellbeing and holistic development.
I have two children of my own and a Labrador, all of whom keep me busy in my spare time. We love to spend our time walking, exploring new places and having family days out adventuring.
I look forward to meeting you and hopefully being able to help or support if needed in the future!
