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.

TE is changing and has become engaged again
I can’t thank you and everyone at SB mentoring enough for how TE is changing and has become engaged again. He had a great chat with me over the holidays, telling me again how everyone is so nice, understanding, and explaining things to him; specifically mentioning that they don’t shout and raise their voices and keep everything calm! I feel his barriers caused by environments that gave him such stress are finally being broken down! I hope you all know what a fantastic job you are doing and what a difference it makes!
