SEMH is a broad label and many types of behaviour can fall under this category. What is important to remember is that one must always focus on the specific causes of the behaviour. Sometimes another SEN can give rise to SEMH, such as anxiety or ADHD. Students with SEMH can have temporary or long-term difficulties in learning.
The idea of promoting emotional well-being in schools is growing and is well aligned with our philosophy. Emergency mental resources are also being provided in some schools.
Addressing SEMH effectively takes interaction from all parties in the student’s environment, and a tutor represents another opportunity to help provide stability and support during the student’s learning process. Most importantly, these students need non-judgemental support and genuine acknowledgement, as per The Bright Heart Approach
We have some very experienced tutors for helping students with these challenges. Our tutors are provided with detailed information about the student following a consultation. Tutors aim to understand the environment the student is operating in and the current factors affecting emotional and mental health. While tutors do not perform professional therapy during the lesson, this background is important to be sensitive and understanding, while providing a warm, safe space. Sometimes positive engagement can take a few lessons, depending on where the student is in their own process. Our tutors are patient and aware of this journey. Once rapport and engagement increases, academic focus can be increased.
