Mental Health and Wellbeing

At GEMS Metropole School Al Waha, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We have a supportive and caring ethos and our approach is respectful and kind, where each individual and contribution is valued.

At our school we know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.

Our counsellors are available to all students, staff and parents. Additionally, we have students and staff who are trained in Mental Health First Aid which is a training program that teaches members of the public how to help a person developing a health and wellbeing difficulties or cope in a crisis.
