Year 11s had an excellent live session with Charlie from BRIYM on the 15th October. Charlie is one of the therapists at Building Resilience In Young Minds, which is an organisation that we work closely with at The Brakenhale School, so that we can support the mental health of our school community. BRIYM specialise in working with young people to develop coping mechanisms for stressful periods of time. Charlie taught our year 11s a series of tapping routines that research shows helps us to move the focus away from any anxiety and gain control over our feelings when we are particularly heightened. Each routine tapped into a different pressure point in order to ease any stress we may have, and students thoroughly enjoyed an opportunity to get moving and expend the nervous, pre-PPE energy!
