SUMMARY:Stem4's Parent Mental Health Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Parent Mental Health Day ( #PMHD )?\n\n\nStem4’s Parent Mental Health Day (PMHD) encourages understanding and awareness of the importance of the family as a system where parent and carer mental health is as important a focus as young people’s mental health. With the 2023 theme being #BuildFamilyResilience\, the day aimed to explore how family resilience can be built\, minimising negative impact on either the parents and carers or their children and young people. \n\nThe #PMHD story\n\n\nMental health can be impacted by a number of factors\, including environmental and social. There is evidence that the pandemic has impacted significantly on parent and carer mental health. Increasing severity\, new emerging psychological issues\, and lack of access to stretched mental health services has also generated ongoing worries on how to also support their child / young person’s mental health. The cost of living crisis\, which has so closely followed the pandemic\, and increased concerns about digital harms have further increased parent and carer anxiety and\, in some cases\, helplessness and hopelessness. \nParent Mental Health Day is here to shine a light on parents/carers who are continuing to parent under unprecedented circumstances and may be struggling in the face of adversity. By getting parents\, carers\, and employers engaged in discussions\, PMHD aims to challenge the stigmas surrounding parents’ and carers’ mental health\, start a discussion\, and provide some resilience tips. \nstem4\, a charity that supports young people to build positive mental health\, is proud to be the UK founder of Parent Mental Health Day\, which started in 2022. \nWhen is Parent Mental Health Day 2024?\nParent Mental Health Day (PMHD) 2024 will take place on the 27th of January and the theme will be “Creating Positive Relationships”. You can visit the Stem4 website for more information or to view the campaign resources.

SUMMARY:Schools Football Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Schools’ Football Week?\n Let’s support even more pupils to enjoy the benefits of schools’ football \nSchools’ Football Week is an ongoing ESFA initiative designed as an opportunity for schools\, teams and clubs from across the country to embrace schools’ football and the wellbeing benefits it provides to pupils and players. It celebrates the importance of schools’ football\, competitive or otherwise\, to pupils across England and provides teachers and coaches with tools and a motivation to further discuss the benefits of schools’ football within their educational environment. \nThe 2022 SFW campaign saw us embrace the growing participation in girls’ football in schools – promoting the importance of equal access to schools’ football for both girls and boys. The campaign alone saw over 56\,000 girls benefitting from footballing opportunities across the 7th – 13th February. In this new season\, following the incredible journey of the Lionesses and continuing the trend the ESFA have seen over the last two years\, we’ve seen the highest number of girls’ entries into National Cup competitions\, with over 120 schools entering girls’ teams for the first time. We are going to continue in our pursuit to celebrate girls’ and all schools’ football in 2024. \n\nHow to get involved in School’s Football Week 2024?\n Inter-house or intra-school tournaments \nAny school can run an inter-house (or inter-form) or intra-school football tournament for boys and/or girls. This could be hosted at lunchtime\, after school or during PE lessons and yours could take any format that you wish. For example\, a group phase followed by a final\, or just a straight forward knockout competition. You could get other pupils involved by making banners to support teams or even writing supporter songs. Maybe you could host an all-girls tournament or encourage a record number of girls in your own school to take part in activity\, just like in our National Cups. \n Football formats  \nYou can choose to use whichever format of football best suits your requirements: 11-a-side\, 9-a-side\, 7-a-side\, 6-a-side\, indoor 5-a-side or even futsal if you have the facilities available. The objective of Schools’ Football Week is to get as many children playing or talking about football as possible and enjoying the game in a safe and secure environment\, regardless of their ability. Remember: children should only play in 2-year age bands in accordance with FA rules. \n Pupil activity for lunchtime…or any time \nThere are some other great examples of how you can introduce football into the school day for Schools’ Football Week 2024 – we’ve put a short list together for you below\, but maybe you have other ideas you’d like to try too – \n\nCoaching sessions for pupils\nPE warm-up sessions based on football drills\nCrossbar challenges (you could try pupils v teachers!)\nPenalty shootout games or competitions\nFreestyle football skills\n\nHow to Register for School’s Football Week 2024?\nWe have set up a link to register your school as taking part in Schools’ Football Week.
