A Glasgow primary school teacher raises a huge amount of money to support children receiving mental health support...
Kate McGarrity, who works at Riverbank Primary in Dalmarnock, collected more than £1,600 at a fundraiser held recently at Goals in Shawlands.
She said:"Today, in our local area, primary school-aged children are experiencing poor mental health episodes for a multitude of reasons and are sadly going unsupported. “In schools, we are seeing children struggle with emotional regulation which leads to outbursts, episodes of extreme worry, and sadness and anger are becoming a regular part of school life."Kate went on to say that the PATHS Programme she teaches aims to be proactive in helping children in their social-emotional learning as well as their wellbeing to help prevent any mental health challenges from occurring.
The primary teacher added:"We are also seeing a dramatic decrease in child self-confidence and self-esteem – children saying they aren’t capable and aren’t able.
