Mental health support and education for children, young people and their families, offered by mental health clinicians, Helen (HCPC registered Occupational Therapist) and Becky (Systemic Practitioner).

28/01/2026

As you will probably know by now, we are passionate about bringing mental health education to the forefront and dream that one day all children will have access to our programme, My Feelings and Me. Why because,

• It supports children to recognise and understand their feelings.
• Build their self-esteem and self-worth.
• Develop social skills.
• Understand behaviour triggers
• Offers friendship support
• Builds team working skills
• Supports in managing transitions.
• Increases academic attainment.
• Improves school attendance
• Improves concentration
• Increases participation
• Less need for time out of the classroom.

Why would you not want My Feelings and Me in your child’s school?

We are aware of the need to focus on traditional subjects and physical health for children and young people in schools but can you imagine a world where we focus on producing emotionally aware and stable people?

We developed My Feelings and Me to bring this much needed education into schools. We will continue with our mission, working with schools and our to community to bring mental health education to the forefront as together we can make a difference.

Have you ever questioned why we have physical health education lessons in schools but no dedicated lessons on mental health education?

Educating children about their feelings will enable them to identify and understand what causes them.

In the same way physical health education is taught to keep us physically well, mental health education is needed to provide us with strategies to support us to keep us mentally well. After all, health is health.

My Feelings and Me was developed to bridge this gap. We hope one day that all children will have access to our programme.

If your child is diagnosed with asthma we suspect you will rarely hear parents blaming themselves for them becoming ill. Mental health is no different. In the same way as some individuals struggle with their physical health others can struggle with their mental health. We should be showing children that we get support for mental health in the same way as we do with physical health.

22/01/2026

If you’ve followed us for a while you will have heard us talk about how anger masks a lot of other emotions including, worry, fear, guilt. By using words such as “bad” or “naughty” it can result in children feeling shame for expressing anger. This may then cause children to suppress anger which can make it manifest in other ways or heighten the intensity of the feeling.

Sadly gender stereotypes are still prevalent in today’s society. But let us tell you now anger and anxiety takes no preference. We can all struggle with these emotions regardless of our gender or indeed culture.

20/01/2026

As much as we may try as adults, we have no control over how children feel. We can nurture and support them in managing their feelings but ultimately, as yesterday's post stated, only the individual has control over how they feel.

19/01/2026

We’ve been hearing some common misconceptions recently in regards to children and young people's mental health, so we thought it would be useful to tackle some of these myths.

Our first myth is, that other people are in charge of how I feel.

Please let us reassure you that the only person that has control over your feelings is you.

To help children understand their feelings it is important that we label them appropriately. It is not about diagnosis.

So for example, worry is a feeling of uncertainty and can feel uncomfortable. An example, could be that your child may feel worried about attending school, but can function in all other areas of their life.

Anxiety is defined in the DSM 5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) as:

‘excessive, persistent worry and fear, coupled with specific physical and mental symptoms, causing significant distress or impairment for at least six months.’

So when you notice your child struggling with a feeling support them by giving the feeling the correct label.

15/01/2026

Do you use the term worry or anxiety when your child/pupil/friend appears to be displaying this feeling?

There are distinct differences between the two, however currently there appears to be a prominence of the use of anxiety when discussing feelings. We wanted to share some of these differences to support understanding, as shown in the image.

14/01/2026

Is worry a forgotten concept? Do you use the word worry when discussing feelings with your child?

We have noticed during our sessions that children often do not mention this feeling, but state the feeling of anxiety. However there are many "worry" tools available.

We are curious as to whether worry is now a forgotten feeling? Please let us know your thoughts?

13/01/2026

We wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing? It was a strange first week back with the arrival of the snow. If you’ve noticed a change in your child behaviour this may be due to this interrupted transition.

Hopefully everything is back to normal this week and routines can return.
