The Wellbeing Hub
Teddies is excited to announce that we are partnering with The Wellbeing Hub, an online platform that works with schools, like ours, to promote wellbeing education. This new initiative underlies our major commitment to wellbeing at St. Edward’s. The Wellbeing Hub was founded by Alicia Drummond, a BACP accredited therapist, parenting expert, author, sought after keynote speaker and member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for a Fit and Healthy Childhood. It works with over 130 schools in the UK and is a trusted source of support for parents, pupils and staff, designed by experts to meet the social, emotional and educational needs of young people.
The Hub gives all parents access to wellbeing courses, weekly podcasts and articles, live Q&As, access to specialists, a Q&A library, top tips and an A-Z bank of wellbeing resources. The most popular element of the parent Hub is the monthly webinars, which address some of the most pressing wellbeing issues facing our young people today.
Shells in a Wellbeing lesson
To launch our partnership with The Wellbeing Hub, and to give you a feel for its offerings, we hope that Teddies parents will set up their account with the Hub using the link in Sub-Warden’s Notices and eNews and register for November’s webinar which focuses on supporting our children to foster a healthy relationship with food and body image. This will take place on Wednesday 9th of November at 6.30pm.
Isla Robinson, Nutritional Therapist (mBANT, CNHC) and Registered Associate Nutritionist will be discussing body image disturbances and eating concerns in young people. She will explore the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating, including how to spot and respond to early warning signs. She will also share practical tips for the families, as well as advice on how to navigate challenging situations that may arise. The aim is to leave us, as teachers and parents, feeling more empowered and equipped to support our children to foster a healthy relationship with food and body image and to free up space for flourishing in their lives. We are planning for Isa Robinson to come in and speak to pupils later this term.
We do hope that you will join us on the 9th of November and that you will enjoy getting to know The Wellbeing Hub. If you have any questions, do contact our Head of Wellbeing, Virginia Macgregor.
