The academy runs mental health first aid drop in sessions during lunch times.

The drop in sessions are there for students to come and have a chat about any general concerns or worries, relating to anything school/home etc. They will be offered strategies and support to help them manage their emotions, and if required, further referrals can be made.

There is also an email address available that all students, parents and staff can access to raise any concerns.

If you have any questions or concerns relating to mental health. Please email opendoor@bexhillacademy.org
