SHARE Project

Wadham school is working with the SHARE Project. The SHARE Project has been commissioned to improve the mental health and emotional well-being of our young people in Secondary and Middle Schools in Somerset. The SHARE Project wants to change to break down the stigma around mental health, and by helping our young people become more resilient, so they are better equipped to understand and manage their emotions and behaviour.

SHARE will do this by involving everyone in schools – teaching professionals, young people and parents, volunteers and support staff – and provide them with the tools and resources to help recognise, manage and sustain good mental health and emotional well-being.

Last academic year SHARE Project Workers Claire and Gail completed Well-Being Champion training for students in the school and this group are supported by Mr Tustin
