Mental Health & Well-being
At Paschal Baylon Catholic Primary School, we have always valued and recognised the importance of supporting our children to be happy, healthy resilient individuals who can cope with life’s challenges. All of our staff work hard to support the mental health and well-being of all the children and adults in our school community.

YPAS Walk in Support Hub (WISH):
Provides same-day mental health support for children, young people, and families in Merseyside. Formerly known as Alternative to Crisis drop-in, the service continues to offer the same support across all three hubs in Merseyside. Our practitioners can support children, young people, and families with emotional wellbeing needs and advise on various practical support issues. They will provide information, advice, and guidance and sometimes offer low-intensity CBT-based support models.
Children, young people, and families attend the Walk In Support Hub service for many different reasons. Some people are seeking advice about services and what they offer, and some people are struggling with different feelings and emotions this is what we would call a ‘self-defined’ crisis. A child/young person/parent/carer can drop into any of our below hubs, you do not need an appointment or a referral to access this service. See opening times here.
