We’re Here for You
At CHA, your wellbeing matters just as much as your learning. Everyone has ups and downs — it’s normal to feel stressed, sad, or worried sometimes. What’s important is knowing where to find help and how to look after yourself.
Why Wellbeing is Important
Good wellbeing helps you to:
- Feel more confident about yourself
- Build strong friendships and relationships
- Enjoy life and school more
- Cope with stress, change, and challenges
Remember: it’s okay not to feel okay sometimes. Talking about it can really help.
How We Can Help at CHA
We have staff trained as Mental Health First Aiders who you can talk to if you’re worried, stressed, or struggling. They will:
- Listen to you in a safe and supportive space
- Help you think through what’s going on
- Point you to extra support if you need it
You can ask to see them yourself, or your tutor, pastoral team, or even your parent/carer can help you get in touch.
