World Mental Health Day is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. To mark the occasion there will be a dress down day in school with all money raised going to Mind Jersey who work closely with Grainville on our Social Emotional Mental Health strategy and Barnados Jersey who run workshops in school teaching students emotional coping skills.
There will also be a variety of organisations in school at lunch time promoting the support that they offer to young people for their mental health. These will include Mind Jersey, the Youth Enquiry Service, My Time for Young Carers, Brook and Jersey Library.
