Show notes:
For the latest episode of the HeadStart podcast, I visited Moreton School in Wolverhampton. Moreton is one of the Wolverhampton secondary schools where the HeadStart team are working very closely with the young people and staff on a range of well-being programmes, including SUMO, HEROs, and our mini Ambassadors programme.
April is National Stress Awareness month, and the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week in May is ‘Stress: are we coping?’, so we decided to base our podcast around a common cause of stress in young people: taking exams.
The show is hosted by Curstan and Mackenzie from Y8 at Moreton, and by Carmen and Hannah from Year 9. Thanks to them all for doing such a brilliant job!
