Mental Health
At St Bede’s College, we believe that mental health is as crucial as physical health. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where students feel safe and valued. Our commitment extends beyond academic excellence to include comprehensive mental health support.
Promoting Mental Health Awareness
Mental health is an integral part of our holistic approach to education. We recognize that students may face various emotional and psychological challenges, and we strive to provide resources and support to help them navigate these difficulties. Our programs focus on:
- Mental Health Education: Integrating mental health awareness into the curriculum to educate students about emotional well-being and coping strategies.
- Counselling Services: Offering confidential counseling services to help students manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
- Peer Support: Encouraging a supportive school community where students can share their experiences and support each other.
The Francis Ingham Legacy Fund
As part of our commitment to mental health, we are proud to highlight the Francis Ingham Legacy Fund. This fund was established in memory of Francis Ingham, a distinguished alumnus, with the generous support of an anonymous donor. The fund’s primary goal is to assist students who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) by providing vital support to help them overcome emotional and psychological challenges.
Francis Ingham’s personal journey, profoundly shaped by his time at St Bede’s, serves as an inspiration. He expressed gratitude for the support he received at our college, which played a key role in his success. The Legacy Fund continues this tradition of support, ensuring that current students receive the assistance they need to thrive.
How You Can Contribute
