Wellbeing and Mental Health
Support for well-being and mental health at Grasmere:
We are delighted to have joined the WAMHS (Well-being and mental health in schools) initiative this year, which gives us access to a mental health practitioner, known as a CAMHS Worker in School (CWIS). The CWIS is supported by Well-being Framework Partner and both meet regularly with the Head Teacher and SENCO to monitor, support and promote well-being in the school.
Our CAMHS Worker in School (CWIS) is Emma Fitzgerald who is a Counselling Psychologist working at First Steps. Emma will be available in school (or by zoom link) every other Thursday and can advise parents and/or staff with concerns about any pupil. Please contact dashton@grasmere.hackney.sch.uk if you would like to arrange a meeting with Emma
Our Well-being Framework Partner is Rachel Thompson who is a Learning and Management Advisor at Hackney Education.
