"I wanted to recognize the exceptional engagement we've observed from Milton Park Primary School recently. Together with Anna Young, we've embarked on the Whole School Approach to mental health, and I'm delighted to share that we've made significant progress this academic year. Milton Park has scheduled 8 assemblies, 2 staff workshops, and 2 parent workshops for the year. The school has commendably integrated MHST principles into their curriculum and daily operations. Anna's efforts in fostering meaningful interactions with the school staff, parents, and students has been pivotal to this continued success. It's evident that Milton Park is a shining example of how, with time, consistency & collaboration between schools and mental health services. It is possible to enhance the availability and access to mental health services for students and families in Portsmouth.I look forward to seeing our continuous progress and collaboration in the upcoming year and beyond."
