Meet Mrs Ashworth

Hello, I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Mrs Ashworth and my role within Scholar Green Primary School is Mental Health Lead. I work with pupils on a one-to-one basis or in group sessions and have daily ‘check-ins’ with several pupils. I am available to all pupils within Scholar Green. Sometimes all they need is to just sit and chat and talk about their worries. No worry is too small and sharing that worry is sometimes all it takes to be able to carry on with the day. I hold weekly assemblies around Mental Health Issues, staying safe and awareness days.

I have completed Level 4 Certificate in Mental Health Aware Leadership and am ELSA trained (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) I am a trained, school-based learning support assistant. My role is to support the emotional wellbeing of pupils. I was trained by a team of educational psychologists, and I receive ongoing group supervision. I am a Mental Heath First Aider (MHFA) I can help students who are experiencing emotional distress or a mental health issue.

Please look out for my Emotionally Healthy School page on the Scholar Green Website. There are lots of pages and a list of support available for children and parents around Mental Health.

I am passionate about my role within Scholar Green Primary School and the emotional health and wellbeing of the pupils, staff and parents.
