We provide emotional wellbeing support to children and young people, helping them to:

 

  • Develop emotional intelligence
  • Understand, validate, and normalise their emotions
  • Build the resilience needed to manage life’s challenges

 

Our work supports the Schools’ Education Inspection Framework in the aspects of Behaviours, Attitudes, Personal Development, and Leadership and Management. It offers vital support to children and young people at the earliest possible stage, making a huge difference to their ability to engage in education and thus to their long-term prospects. Working in partnership with schools, we develop tailored wellbeing packages designed to meet the specific needs of each school community.

 

Our work has a proven positive impact on pupils’ mental health and wellbeing. By supporting their personal development, we help them to thrive emotionally and engage more fully in their education.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stockport Council has worked with Beacon for a number of years to help support the mental health and resilience of our colleagues. We have always been extremely impressed with the knowledge, expertise and professionalism shown by Beacon staff and we can clearly see the positive impact this service has in helping our colleagues through difficult or traumatic periods in their life

As the needs of our students changed, and challenges were raised to meet these needs, Beacon stepped up to adapt the provision in order to allow those students to get the support they needed.

Marple Hall School

I feel the counsellor understands the challenges our students are dealing with and she is always approachable. The counsellor always feedbacks to me and reports any safeguarding concerns plus she is great with communication … I feel the counsellor is a very jolly person that radiates positivity when she visits our school, the students definitely benefit from her sessions and our staff do as soon as we see her smile walking through our school.
