YouthCARE - Wickham Primary School

Our School Chaplain, based on site, supports the emotional and social well-being of children at school, their families and the school staff.
This regularly involves getting to know children and their families on a very personal level, particularly those children and families most vulnerable in our community, and helping them know what they need in order to attend school and develop the educational pathways.
Often these needs are quite practical BUT if they are met can really improve their general sense of well-being.
Our Chaplain coordinates this by providing social and emotional support and wellbeing; running classroom support programs, encourage individual support within finding self-identity, strong friendships, grief and loss relief, referrals internally and externally, as well as community engagement.
