Emotionally Friendly Schools (EFS) programme
The Emotionally Friendly Schools (EFS) programme is a flexible, whole-school approach to improve children's mental health and wellbeing supported by Salford Educational Psychology Service. The EFS supports the process of becoming more emotionally friendly by focusing on four key areas; Staff Wellbeing and School Ethos, Whole School and Classroom Practice, Assessing Children's Needs, and Supporting Individual Children. We have developed both Primary and Secondary versions of the EFS and online versions of the manuals are also available. We will take you through a cyclical process in which you plan and take action using a comprehensive whole-school approach. The programme includes a manual, training, ways to audit your school and a planning meeting. Further training is available on selected areas included in the Supporting Individual Children section of the manual, e.g.
Depression and Young People
Anxiety and Young People
Loss and Bereavement
