Clearly, we are seeing an increase in the numbers having to isolate, and we are all being kept in more with lockdown, and there is no doubt this has a negative impact on our well-being.
Anna Bateman, from The National College has produced a resource to map out keep approaches to ensure both children and adults can maintain their mental well-being during lockdown and isolation and she particularly draws attention to:
- Mindset and Thoughts
- Keep Physically Active
- Positive Thoughts
- Good Quality Sleep
- Eat Well
- Accepting Help
- Doing Good Does You Good
- Stay Connected
The full resource can be seen here.
Ian Rose, Deputy Headteacher and Safeguarding Lead, said: “We work hard to encourage our students to remain positive, upbeat and to take care of themselves both physically and mentally. This resource is a good starting point for family discussions and helps us all to focus our minds on how we can take care of ourselves and one another.”
