An estimated 1 in 10 pupils who are severely absent from school have a social, emotional, mental health need. Does this sound familiar to you? Just think, what a difference it might make to pupil attendance if we could successfully address pupils' mental health and wellbeing and intervene early enough to prevent them reaching crisis point. 𝑰𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒖𝒑𝒊𝒍𝒔' 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈? Not only do we run whole class programmes to develop emotional resilience and manage transition and change, but we have a proven track record working with pupils experiencing challenges in attending school due to negative feelings such as anxiety.  Read more about our offer to schools and the impact we have had on our website https://lnkd.in/eUwJtbhK #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #teenagementalhealth #parentingsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #anxiety #ebsa #emotionalresilience #transitionandchange

We whole-heartedly agree with this and make it our priority to upskill the children we work with in one-to-one sessions and in our school programmes to develop their emotional intelligence. Children and young people need to recognise emotions in themselves and others and develop the language to express how they are feeling before we can begin to teach them to regulate and manage their emotional well-being.

The Parachute Project want to wish all the children and young people returning to school for the new term good luck.  You've got this! https://lnkd.in/eQeq8sy4 #childrensmentalhealth #parentingsupport #selfcare #newschoolyear #startingschool #startingsecondaryschool #childrensanxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #childrensmentalhealthmatters #teenagementalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate

Don't forget... Back-to-school jitters after any period of time off is understandable and to be expected for many children. If your child is feeling anxious about the first day of the new term, help them feel more positive about managing it, by giving them something enjoyable to look forward to after school, like going for ice cream or visiting the playground. 🛌Make sure to discuss which fun activity you'll do together the evening before school starts so they go to bed with this in their mind. Our free resource helps children and young people recognise the physical effects anxiety can have on the body: https://lnkd.in/edpBHJ2p #childrensmentalhealth #automaticnegativethoughts #newschoolyear #startingschool #startingsecondaryschool #childrensanxiety #firstdayofschool #firstdayback

To Abi, I can't put into words how much our sessions have helped me. I am so glad to be able to have them as I feel like it changed me so much, for the good. This is the kind of statement that reminds us that 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. This January, we will be celebrating the feedback we get from children, parents and schools with #feedbackfriday😊 If you're desperate to lighten your child's load and are pulling your hair out to get them the help they need, reach out to us - abi.theparachuteproject@gmail.com Or, review feedback from children and parents who have worked with us. > https://lnkd.in/e2e-f8dy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #childrensmentalhealawareness #mentalhealthadvocate

Hello 2025 👋🏻 We're super excited about the new year and can't wait to see what the next 12 months have in store for The Parachute Project. We're looking forward to helping even more young people with their emotional well-being. https://lnkd.in/ewfDFuGr Thanks again for your continued support! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #childrensmentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #teenagementalhealth #childrensanxiety #localbusinesses #smallbusiness #communityhub #safelanding #mentallyhealthyschools

2024 has been a year of growth for The Parachute Project as we expanded our team and our reach. We are incredibly proud to have supported around 300 school pupils and worked in 6 schools, as well as supporting over 100 one-on-one clients, all with positive feedback. Many of these children would not have been able to get the help they needed without the generous support and donations from local businesses. We are thrilled to have launched a new community hub in Fakenham alongside Grocott and Murfit’s Building Norfolk, aptly named “Safe Landing Community Hub.” It will serve as a secondary office base for us and allow us to offer free sessions in the community. 2025 looks to be an even more exciting year for The Parachute Project, and we can’t wait to take you along with us for the ride. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #childrensmentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #teenagementalhealth #childrensanxiety #localbusinesses #smallbusiness #communityhub #safelanding

Don't forget to regularly check the page for Safe Landing on our website for updates on services available at our new community hub, opening times, and events and sessions we are running. https://lnkd.in/eKmBmyuq We can't wait to open the doors in 2025!

Did you catch Abi from The Parachute Project on the radio yesterday? Don't worry if you didn't. You can listen to her talking about how we use funding from local businesses to provide sessions to support children's mental health and wellbeing here: https://lnkd.in/e8NrvR3y Our aim for the new year is to be able to provide this service in schools and we are looking for businesses who want to help us achieve this, ensuring pupils in schools which are strapped for cash, are also able to access our provision. If your company wants to be part of this initiative and give back to your local community, please email abi.theparachuteproject@gmail.com or visit our website for further details: https://lnkd.in/ebshcVGG #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #teenagementalhealth #parentingsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #anxiety #localbusinesses #smallbusinesses #BBCRadioNorfolk
