Welcome to the Hylands Student Wellbeing section of the website.
We recognise that flourishing at school is determined as much by your wellbeing as it is by your academic ability: if you feel healthy and content within yourself and your environment, then you are far more likely to perform to the best of your academic ability.
We hope these webpages, resources and links encourage you to take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing, empower you to seek help when you need it, and support you to develop skills that will equip you not only to be successful at school but in life more generally.

The PIPA Trial
Mental health during childhood and adolescence is very important. Difficulties like anxiety and depression can start when people are young and it is important for young people and their families to understand these difficulties and get support when needed.
The PIPA Trial is exploring the effectiveness of an online resource for parents/carers to help reduce depression and anxiety in young people. The trial is being coordinated by the University of Warwick and involves families of young people aged 11-15 years from schools in the UK.
The trial is free and conducted completely online. Eligible parents/carers and young people will be asked to complete some questionnaires. Parents/carers will then receive access to some online parenting resources: either the standard educational package of factsheets or the personalised programme with up to nine modules. Parents/carers and young people will also be asked to complete some follow-up questionnaires.
Please look out for the letter about how to sign up which also contains some information sheets with more details. If you have any questions, please speak to Ms K Sosin or contact the PIPA trial team at PIPA@warwick.ac.uk or 02476574316/02476575078.
Screen Addiction
Screen addiction is becoming a real problem, even more so during COVID-19 lockdowns, which is why it’s more important than ever for children and adults alike to learn and develop healthier digital habits.
