Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)

Understanding SEMH Needs

Children with SEMH needs may experience difficulties such as anxiety, depression, aggression, or other emotional and behavioural issues. These challenges can affect their academic performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Supporting children with SEMH requires a holistic approach, combining therapeutic interventions, supportive environments, and specialised resources.
