BWell Family Wellbeing Practitioners, Abi and Aimee, recently carried out our first piece of groupwork with a group of the P7 girls at one of our referring primary schools. The aim of the group was to support the girls with their upcoming transition to high school and to encourage good mental well-being. The 6-week programme was developed to cover building positive relationships, promoting increased confidence/self-esteem, introducing the importance of self-care, dealing with conflict, and managing change. The girls were identified by the school as in need of some additional support surrounding these areas.

Read on to hear more about Toddler Steps.

Over the Autumn, parents took part in 7 sessions of Wellbeing Group, where they explored factors that affect their mental and physical health and how to improve them. They then planned activities around these factors, based on interests and areas that they were concerned about.
