Mental Health and Wellbeing - WMG Academy Solihull

WMG Academy for Young Engineers Student Support Team is passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people. We believe in teamwork; working with each other,
with teachers and colleagues across the school and wider WMG Academy Trust.

We act with determination. Whatever issues our students and their families face, we always
support, react and pull together. We are committed to making a difference; we are not passive players in young people’s lives but active participants who can and do make a real difference.
If you have an immediate concern that someone’s life is at risk, for example they have serious injuries or have taken an overdose. Call 999 or go to A&E now
