Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)

NT&AS teachers are highly skilled in supporting those with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Using our Positive Caring Relationships behaviour model (PCR), NT&AS teachers think with greater depth about the child’s lived experience. Our teachers use a highly adaptive and collaborative approach to engender trust, create a positive and safe space for learning, encourage regulation skills, resilience and most importantly, self-worth.

Our teachers are trained Mental Health First Aid, Trauma Informed Practice and PCR. They are skilled in working with young people experiencing:

  • Anxiety

  • Trauma and attachment

  • Emotionally Based School Avoidance

  • Emotional regulation difficulties

  • Social interaction complications and problems with forming relationships

  • Diagnosed ‘disruptive behaviour conditions’ such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiance Disorder

  • Other conditions such as eating disorders and substance misuse

  • Those at risk of self injurious behaviour

ADHD

NT&AS teachers are trained to understand a broad spectrum of behaviours particular to ADHD. NT&AS acknowledges how the condition can differ between boys and girls and adapts a curriculum and approach to accommodate difference. Each young person is offered a personalised provision that supports their education and emotional wellbeing.
