As part of The Education Alliance (TEAL), we are extremely fortunate to benefit from the TEAL Be Well programme. This programme provides emotional and wellbeing support for students, parents/carers and staff in addition to what schools are normally able to offer.

The TEAL Be Well Programme is a unique resource commissioned by The Education Alliance to increase mental health provision for children, staff and parents/carers across the schools in our Trust, including The Snaith School.

The Be Well Programme consists of two elements:

• Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) Mind – The Whole School Approach for all children, parents/carers and staff Heymind.org.uk
• SMASH – (Social Mediation and Self Help)

Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) Mind – Whole School Approach

A practitioner from HEY Mind is based in The Snaith School for two days per week.

Our school community is supported through a range of activities, including:

• High quality training and support
• A commitment to ensuring we have trained Youth Mental Health First Aiders within our school.
• Access to a listening service for students, parents/carers and staff as a drop-in service, in person or virtually
• An age appropriate workshop for all students (see below)
• A range of workshops for parents (see below)
• Access to a high-quality training programme for young people who wish to become Wellbeing Ambassadors
• Intensive student support through the ‘Big Umbrella’ programme

During the academic year 2023-24, over 800 pupils were supported through the activities offered by Mind. This has increased significantly with all students in Year 6 to Year 11 being offered access to an age appropriate workshop:
