Wellbeing
We cannot always expect life to go smoothly, and we cannot control all that happens to us.
It is possible however to create a network of support and help for when times are difficult, as well as to share the highlights of our life.
Each young person at Earth School will be a part of a small team that will stay together throughout their journey with us. These teams will meet regularly to discuss day-to-day issues that arise for its members, and this way we will create a bond between the young people.
With open communication created between school and families, a network of professional facilitators and a team of young people to support each individual, we will create an environment of care, empathy and encouragement for our young people to deal with lifes' twists and turns
