HELLO YELLOW – World Mental Health Awareness day – 10th October

Waterfoot Primary School will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity for young people’s mental health.

No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why Hello Yellow matters. We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never alone with their mental health. We’ll be taking part by having a non-uniform day and ask children to wear something YELLOW! You can also donate to support our school’s fundraising campaign by donating to our  Superkind page or sending £1 or more into school on Friday 10^th October.

Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your children. This includes: 

• online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/) 
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544) 

• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health (www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/
