Family Support

At Birchwood Avenue Primary School, supporting our community is at the heart of everything we do.  We know that the current situation is causing multiple new challenges and difficulties for many of our families, and we want to ensure that we continue to support our families through these testing times.  Therefore, we have put together this section to signpost you and your families to some of the amazing resources that are available to support and guide families through these trying times.  

Please also remember to reach out to us if you are struggling, as we want to be able to support you and your families.

Mental Health 

If you are worried or anxious about the impact of lockdown or coronavirus on your families mental health, you are not alone!  The global pandemic has caused much uncertainty for us all, so it is not surprising that it has impacted on the mental health of so many of us in lots of different ways.  

At Birchwood Avenue Primary School, we want to help you navigate these difficult times and ensure that we help you find the right support for you and your family.

Where to find support during lockdown

Life can be difficult and lonely during lockdown, even if your house is full!  Sometimes we need support or just a chat to help us find our way through difficult times.  The following links will help you to realise that you don't have to cope by yourself and that there is support out there for you.  Please also let us know if there is anything we can do to support you.
