A MENTAL health resource book has been launched to help children, parents, carers and professionals to cope with the changes and emotions children may be feeling during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown. Living in Lockdown – Our Children Remember is a project by Furness Education and Skills Partnership (FESP), supported by local schools, Barrow Integrated Care Community and local third sector organisations and funded by Barrow and Millom Primary Care Network. As part of the project, 10 schools across Barrow were partnered with mental health practitioners to capture their children’s experiences through the pandemic, along with their feelings, their strategies for resilience and their hopes for the future.
A BOOK aiming to support mental health and resilience for children living through lockdown has been launched. Furness Education and Skills Partnership (FESP) has launched ‘Living in Lockdown – Our Children Remember’, a mental health resource book for children. Project funders, Barrow & Millom Primary Care Network, commissioned FESP to project manage the creation of the book to support young people living through the pandemic. Local schools were partnered with mental health practitioners to capture their children’s experiences through Covid, along with their feelings, their strategies for resilience and their hopes for the future. Ten schools participated in the project and the children’s work was collated in emerging themes focusing on their understanding of what was happening, how they were affected and their hopes and wishes in adjusting to a ‘new normal’.
