Looking to open up the conversation further? Watch our brand new homeschooling story for wellbeing.
From our work with students, and our mental health and wellbeing workshops for schools, we understand that young people want to take an active role in their mental health, and talking about how they are feeling is key to positive wellbeing.
Positive mental health and wellbeing for young people is at the heart of everything we do at OpenView Education, and is a theme that also runs through our Anti-Bullying and Internet Safety Training for students.
If you are looking for further support during this time, you can access our Homeschooling parent zone here, including E-Safety Guides, and our Online Internet Safety Training Course for Parents.
