Therapeutic Support and Well-being
We recognise that people need support to thrive and reach their full potential. The therapy and wellbeing service offers a specialised provision for students who may benefit from regular sessions; drop-in sessions are open to all. The school prioritises social emotional and mental health within every aspect of school life - policies & environment, curriculum and special events/campaigns - positively impacting outcomes for students. We have a team of two Dramatherapists (Juliet Stephens, HCPC, BADTH & Matilda Mudyavanhu, HCPC, BADTH) who jointly manage the service and provide sessions to students.
For Students
For Parents & Carers:
The school offers confidential monthly group sessions for parents and carers led by the school therapist. The group provides a place to seek support and connect with others. Additionally, if parents would like to book time to see the school therapist on an individual basis, they can do so.

World Mental Health Day
Wednesday 10th October 2018
Across the world, more children and young people than ever before are seeking help with their mental health. However, only 1 in 10 are able to find the support they need.
At Bromley Beacon Academy, we are proud to discuss mental and physical health. We also have therapists onsite to support our students. By wearing yellow on World Mental Health Day, we want to show young people that they’re not alone when it comes to their mental health.
Bromley Beacon Academy would like to help support this worthwhile cause. Students are invited to donate £1 and wear yellow (or make something yellow to wear) for the day; any contributions would be gratefully received and donated to the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust who will be providing a staff training on Mental Health.
Students are invited to express themselves and we appreciate individuality, all they have to do to take part is wear yellow on October 10th - it couldn’t be simpler!
