• Introducing ........The Hive

  Mon 20 Jan 2025 Alison Hardwick

  This week has seen the launch of The Hive - our SAP base at Welbeck Federation. We will be offering a range of interventions for children to access delivered by the SAP team and by commissioned services. We welcomed our first group of children accessing group counselling sessions last Thursday - they will be spending sessions together exploring bereavement. After half term we are introducing a 6 week intervention using baking to explore emotions. 

   

  We have an open session on 31st Jan 3.30-5pm so you can come along and visit The Hive to see our room and resources. 

  We are really excited to have a great new base and resources to support the children across our partnership schools. Looking forward to you visiting us soon
