At Aspris we understand the challenges schools face in fostering a supportive, healthy environment for students, teachers, and staff. Our mental health services are designed to address the diverse needs of students, including those with special educational needs, and to equip schools with the tools necessary to promote mental wellbeing across the entire school community.

Our Mental Health Services for Schools

A Holistic Approach: Our services cover every aspect of school mental health, from one-on-one support for students to guidance for the school leadership team. We aim to provide both preventive and responsive services that create a safe, nurturing environment for all.

Mental Health Assessments: We provide comprehensive mental health assessments for students, offering a clear picture of emotional and psychological needs. These assessments help identify students who may need further support, allowing early intervention and personalized care plans. Our assessments include:

• • • Emotional and Behavioural Assessments
    • Learning Disabilities Screenings
    • Behavioural Interventions
    • Functional Behavioural Assessments (FBA)
    • Positive Behavioural Support (PBS)
    • Counselling and Therapeutic Support

These programs foster a sense of community among students, helping them feel understood and supported by their peers.

Special Educational Needs (SEN) Support

• Supporting the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) We work closely with SENCOs to provide comprehensive support for students with special educational needs. Our goal is to ensure that these students receive the individualized attention they need to thrive academically and socially.
• Collaborative Case Management: We assist SENCOs with student evaluations, ensuring that each child’s mental health and emotional needs are fully integrated into their Individual Education Plan (IEP).
• Tailored Mental Health Plans: For students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental conditions, we design personalized mental health care plans that support both academic progress and emotional well-being.
• Teacher Consultation and Training: We offer professional development for teachers to help them recognize and address the mental health needs of students with special educational needs, particularly in inclusive classroom settings.
• Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Programs for SEN Students: Our SEL programs are adapted for students with special educational needs, focusing on enhancing their self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. These programs are designed to foster resilience and build the social-emotional competencies necessary for success in school and beyond.

Teacher and Staff Training

• • Mental Health First Aid Training: Our Mental Health First Aid program equips teachers and staff with the skills to recognize and respond to early signs of mental health challenges in students. This training provides the tools necessary for initial intervention, ensuring that students receive timely support.
  • Professional Development Workshops: We offer workshops that address the following topics:
  • Recognizing Signs of Mental Health Issues: Training teachers to identify symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns in students.
  • Managing Classroom Behaviour: Tools for teachers to handle behavioural issues in a positive, supportive manner.
  • Self-Care for Educators: Techniques for managing stress and preventing burnout among teaching staff, ensuring their well-being while they support students.

Family and Community Engagement
