Back by popular demand and now a regular featured article in weekly newsletters are our WELLBEING WEDNESDAY'S

As mentioned last week, wellbeing trumps all at the moment. I know it is hard and I have had many conversations with families this week to try and support them as much as I can through this dificult time. 

A few tips that might help:

• Create a daily schedule together.
• Small work sessions 15-30mins.
• Break up with some fun or favourite activities.
• Family time in the afternoon with some excerise or family board / card games.

Please look at the links below and use them. There is no shame in seeking support or reaching out to friends and famikly for help.
