This is so important right now in our school community. Self care techniques can help manage the symptoms of many mental health problems. For more support visit mind.org.uk/information-supp…

Men are less likely to seek help for mental health largely due to societal expectations. This image was created by one of our S3 boys in Media and I’m sure you will agree how powerful it is. #talkingtogether #itsokaynottobeokay amazing work! @PortobelloHigh @PortyEnglish @EDIPHS

Don’t underestimate the power of mindfulness! Pupils were able to learn a few techniques yesterday to focus & anchor themselves in the present moment. A powerful tool to deal with one’s own emotions 🧘🏻♂️ 🌱 #ReadyRespectfulSafe @PortobelloHigh #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters
As we move towards the end of the school year, we will have a focus on mindfulness for wellbeing Wednesday and today we looked at why mindfulness should be as valued as some of the more traditional subjects. #teamportytalks ted.com/talks/jennifer_grace…

We have set our young people (and staff) a challenge for March to try to start a new habit that will benefit their mental health and wellbeing. Setting small goals makes this more achievable so we have offered some ideas to help get them started. #talkingtogether @PortobelloHigh

One of our amazing senior @PortobelloHigh Media pupils has created a poster campaign in lockdown. Here is one of her posters. So inspired by her commitment to community and to open, clear, inclusive communication. @EDIPHS #AchievingTogether #lockdownlearning
