There has been a lovely new display created by the Pastoral team at Connex. During Mental Health week at Connex, the young people enjoyed completing a wellbeing tree. They started by thinking about their close friends and family who listen and support them. This is the core part of their wellbeing and support network which they wrote in the roots of the tree. They then went on to think about their happy memories, activities and hobbies that make them feel happy in the trunk and branches. This is their wellbeing tree growing. Finally they wrote about their good feelings and thoughts on the leaves as their tree bloomed.

 

We discussed each section of the tree as the young people filled it in. There were some really good responses, and it was great to see them recognise how their wellbeing grows and flourishes. We have put these all together to create our Wellbeing Tree display.
