Mental Health and Wellbeing are an essential tool to help your child (and all of us) to feel safe, confident and successful.

Below you will find links to some helpful information. 

Remember, you can always speak to the staff at school if you have any concerns about your child's mental health and wellbeing.

Information from the School Nursing Team

Do you have concerns  about any aspect of your child’s health or well-being?

If so, our School Health Nursery Nurses are available to provide you with information, advice and guidance in relation to a number of issues such as:

• Emotional wellbeing including anxiety about returning to school
• Friendships
• Healthy eating, weight management and physical activity advice
• Parenting
• Bed-wetting and toileting
• Hearing
• Behaviour

If you would like to speak to a School Health Nursery Nurse, please email us at dhc.snadmin.hub@nhs.net providing us with your telephone number as well as your child’s name and school, so that we can call you back .  If you would prefer an Attend Anywhere video appointment online instead of a phone call, please let us know.  This will need to be booked in advance.   We will do our best to call you back within two working days.

For more information and guidance, please visit the Dorset HealthCare website at  www.dorsethealthcare.nhs.uk and search for the School Nursing webpage

IMPORTANT:  If you have an urgent medical concern, you will need to speak to your GP or ring NHS 111
