Mental Health Support at Iceni Academy
At Iceni Academy, we understand Mental Health and Wellbeing as a continuum. At different times students may be at different points on the continuum. Indeed, throughout their lives our young people will experience a range of mental health and wellbeing. Our aim is to provide them with strategies and knowledge to protect themselves and understand how to seek help when they need it.
There are a number of external support which can help children with their mental health and wellbeing.
