Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health

At the Forge Trust we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils, their families, and our staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.

At The Forest View Academy we have a three tiered approach to supporting the mental health and well-being of our pupils: –

• Universal Support– To meet the needs of all our pupils through our overall values, ethos, Relationships Education, and our wider curriculum.
• Additional support– For those who may have short term needs and those who may have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as the recent Covid 19 pandemic.
• Targeted support– For pupils who need more differentiated support and resources or specific targeted interventions such as wellbeing groups, learning mentor sessions or referral to wider professionals.
