Feeling worried or anxious?
Throughout the year we offer:
- A range of individual therapeutic support, counselling and mentoring from partner organisations.
- We run well-being events, group therapy sessions and workshops.
- We regularly discuss mental health within our tutor times, as well as having dedicated assemblies.
- Our PSHE programme is a positive part of our well-being support across the whole range of topics.
At NCA we recognise the varied needs of young people and their families and we seek to support all of our students to become confident, capable, and caring individuals.
You can also email worried@northcambridgeacademy.org and someone from the safeguarding team will help you. This should only be used for non-urgent queries.
