Mental Health Support Pathway

The Bolsover School takes the mental health and wellbeing of all staff and students extremely seriously. We recognise that sometimes our young people will require additional support within their day-to-day lives to navigate the complexities they may face throughout their teenage years.

Your child may be experiencing mental health difficulties, they may recognise this themselves, or you yourself could be concerned about their mental health and wellbeing. It could be that a trauma has been experienced that has negatively impacted their mental health, or sometimes there isn’t an obvious reason to explain the difficulties. Either way, recognition, communication and the correct support are three important stages to promote and sustain positive mental health and wellbeing.

If you are concerned about your child’s mental health and wellbeing, the school can offer a range of support. We operate levels of support dependent on the needs of the student and we aim to follow a progressive pathway to ensure the correct support is implemented at the correct time.

How to get support:

Talk to us: If you require immediate support, please contact your child’s Form Tutor or Head of House to discuss your concern. This can be done either by phone or by email. If you do not have the correct contact details, the school reception team will be happy to pass on your details to the appropriate staff member who will get back to you as soon as possible.
