A pocket-sized ‘wellbeing card’ for young people in Poynton was launched as part of Mental Health Awareness week, 9-15 May 2022. Created from an idea from members of Poynton High School’s Student Leadership Team, the card details services and useful contacts available for young people, to support their mental health and wellbeing. In May 22, every student at Poynton High School was offered a card.
Middlewood Partnership have also created specific webpages on their website aimed at meeting the needs of young people. The pages have lots of useful information about self-help including health for teens, mental health, alcohol and drug misuse, smoking, relationships, sexual health and lots more.
