PUPILS at a Rugby primary school will be encouraged to speak about their feelings following a donation of books to mark Youth Mental Health Day.
Houlton St Gabriel’s CofE Academy received the books – which tackle sensitive subjects including emotions and grief – from housebuilder Mulberry Homes.
Youth Mental Health Day aims to break down the stigma surrounding mental health by encouraging young people to be open about their feelings and any struggles they may be facing.
A spokesperson for the school said: “We are very grateful to Mulberry Homes for this donation. Children’s mental health is massively important, and these books are a great entry point for our children to speak about their feelings.”
Kerry Jones from Mulberry Homes added: “We hope to encourage an open discussion about how children feel and their mental health.”
