Just like everyone has a body, everyone has mental health. It’s not just about mental illness. When children have good levels of wellbeing it helps them to learn and explore the world, feel, express and manage positive and negative emotions and form and maintain good relationships.
At Dean Field we are committed to supporting the wellbeing of everyone in our school community. This page provides information and resources to help support our families.
