Thrive Support
Some students require further intervention to support their individual needs. Our trained thrive practitioner will work with these children through individual or group sessions, to ensure a safe space for growth.
Some of the difficulties these children may have include:
- Difficulties with friendships
- Finding it hard to settle into the classroom routine/structure.
- Finding it difficult to manage their strong feelings.
- Not knowing who to turn to when feelings are too big to manage independently.
These situations can lead to many feelings, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. They might include: anger, frustration, sadness, loneliness, confusion, or anxiety. All these feelings are very normal and are felt by many students.
“No hood again, this is the first time he has been without his hood for as long as I can remember, even our family Christmas meal we managed to get through without a hood.”
