Our joined-up approach to support the SEMH of children and young people.
Discussing mental health should be a positive experience and, if done well, can reduce the stigma associated with mental health difficulties.
Our Let’s Talk resources are our way of using a common language and understanding of SEMH to support our children and young people.

***SEND Friendly Crafts at Epping Forest District Museum***
Epping Forest District Museum is delighted to announce our upcoming series of SEND Friendly Family Craft Sessions, designed to provide a fun, inclusive, and low-pressure creative experience for families.
Their sessions offer a wonderful mix of sensory play, painting, and crafting, with all materials provided. Families can simply come along, enjoy the activities, and leave with a handmade treasure. They aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment where every child can explore their creativity at their own pace.
Their next session is on Saturday 21st June, 10:30am-12:30pm at Epping Forest District Museum. £3 per child and siblings are welcome.
They will be creating bugs using stencils and paints.
Limited spaces are available for each session, and booking is required. To book or for more information, please contact them on 01992 716882 or email enquiries@efdmuseum.org.uk
Kind regards,
Epping Forest District Museum.
