Mental Health and Wellbeing
Support for Adults
Mental health and wellbeing is core to everything that we do here at St. Benedict's Catholic Primary School. The health and wellbeing of children, staff and parent/carers is everybody’s business.
Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual recognises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her own community. World Health Organisation, August 2014
