Parents Mental Health Support
Supporting Parents’ Mental Health at Abbey Primary School
At Abbey Primary School, we understand that a child’s wellbeing is closely linked to the mental health of their parents and carers. That’s why we place great value on supporting the emotional wellbeing of our families, not just our pupils. We are proud to offer a monthly parent wellbeing group, led by our Senior Mental Health Lead, Mrs Baker, in partnership withReflexions, an NHS mental health service, and Mossley Community Connexions.
These sessions offer a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, access professional advice, and connect with others. From creative wellbeing activities like bag decorating and decoupage to community-spirited projects such as hiding bookmarks with uplifting messages around the estate, our group celebrates togetherness and self-care.
This initiative reflects the strong bond between Abbey Primary, local agencies, and our wider community—working hand in hand to support and uplift one another. If you would like any more information about our group, please contact Mrs Baker via the school office or on Class Dojo.
Remember, you’re not alone, and we’re here to help you thrive. Please see the below testimonials from some parents who attend the group:
Good Morning Mrs Baker, last weeks Mental Health Workshop was lovely and everyone enjoyed making plenty of Positive Bookmarkers with positive messages, Joel enjoyed placing all our positive bookmarkers around Mossley over the weekend. Hope someone finds them ☺️🫶
The mental health workshop is brilliant you learn alot about dealing with mental health i learned alot about anxiety stress i got an app on my phone so if me and my daughter do ever suffer from any mental health problems we turn to the app which helps us a lot thank you to all staff who run this mental health workshop it’s worth going i will be attending the other mental health workshops. x
Me and my son attended one of the mental health workshops and I’ve got to say it was so helpful we had both been of work and school due to him having surgery and this was just what we needed we got to talk to other people make things and gave us chance to speak in a safe environment. I will definitely be going back.
