Sometimes the quietest student in the room is carrying the heaviest load.
Schools are more than places of learning, they're communities where a single conversation can make all the difference. Teachers, counsellors, support staff and peers all have the power to notice when a student isn't quite themselves. And sometimes, all it takes is pausing to ask: 'are you OK?'
Make checking in part of your school culture, not just one day a year, but every day 💛
