School / Home Support
A message from Sarah Wilkins
I work for Burnholme College as the School Inclusion Officer to help the school support young people and their families get the most from their educational opportunities.
Burnholme College recognises that young people may require confidential help at times over issues such as stress, transition, relationships, family support, friendships, housing, welfare and more. My job is to listen, support, give practical advice and liaise with outside agencies on behalf of young people. I can be contacted by ringing the school switchboard (01904 415906)
TEENTALK
Both teenagers and parents can find the teen years a real challenge. Not only can it be the most demanding time in parent-teen relationships and can also lead to breakdown in families. As family breakdown is the single biggest reason for students failing to achieve their potential at school, its important that we support parents to "stick with it" when the going gets tough. I chose to train specifically in this area and as a Certificated Parent and Teen Coach I work closely with families to help parent and teens alike survive adolescence. If you're worried, or just curious, please ring me via the switchboard, for an informal chat.
