Parent Workshops
St Paul's wants to support and nurture children to understand both themselves and others better. We want to equip them to develop healthy relationships and be able to respond to their own mental health needs. We have used 'My Hidden Chimp' as a while school change project and in doing so have been awarded our Silver Award. If you would like to see how this was shared in our parent workshop take a look at the PowerPoint.
