Pieta Amber Flag Initiative
Our school is proud to be taking part in the Pieta Amber Flag Initiative, a powerful movement that supports the promotion of positive mental health and well-being for all students and staff.
The Amber Flag initiative encourages schools to create healthy, inclusive environments where open conversations around mental health are welcomed and supported. It also helps raise awareness of the challenges and stigmas that may exist within the school community.
The Three Main Goals of the Amber Flag:
- Promote mental health and well-being for all members of the school community.
- Prevent mental health issues by increasing awareness, building social support systems, and reducing risk factors such as bullying, racism, and isolation.
- Improve the quality of life for students experiencing mental health difficulties by encouraging recovery through awareness and education.
Throughout the year, we will take part in a variety of activities and initiatives that promote mental and emotional well-being. To earn the Amber Flag, our school will work towards specific targets, objectives, and goals focused on building a more supportive and mentally healthy environment.
