Springtime is coming and it’s good to see a change in the weather. Long may it last!

We have a number of great resources and opportunities in the Southern Area in this edition.  Firstly, on page 3, you will see the great new resource for schools to help address school anxiety and distress, following CiNI’s successful event last week. 

On page 8 you will see an invitation to parents/care givers and practitioners for an online health information session on Looking After Your Child’s Teeth by the Community Dental Service at SHSCT. And, as we are always keen to share funding opportunities, you will see information on page 12 about Holiday Grants from the Henry Smith Charity.

Plenty more included in this issue and see you again as we hurtle towards Easter!

EWTS- Stress Awareness Month April 2025

This assembly has been created by the Emotional Wellbeing Team in schools to help promote Stress Awareness Month which takes place in April every year.  The awareness campaign from The Stress Management Society aims to increase public knowledge about not just the causes, but what we can all do to combat stress.

This year’s theme is #LeadWithLove

This theme encourages us to approach ourselves and others with kindness, compassion, and acceptance, no matter the challenges we face.

Small acts of love such as  kindness to a friend, or  practicing self-love can spark powerful waves of positivity that ripple outward.
