Emotional Wellbeing

At the Omnia Foundation, we embrace a holistic approach to the emotional, social, and mental wellbeing of our entire community, ensuring that every individual has the tools and support needed to succeed. Guidance and expertise from the Therapeutic Provision Team underpin and enrich our diverse curriculum, providing students with meaningful opportunities to grow, develop, and flourish. The foundation follows a ‘therapy first’ approach, placing strong emphasis on meeting each student’s social, emotional, and mental health needs. We believe that compassion and connection are essential. This therapeutic focus fosters positive experiences that nurture confidence, kindness, and self-belief. When emotional needs are fully understood and supported, students are better equipped to engage, learn effectively, and achieve enduring personal and academic success.

We aim to build a strong foundation for student learning through diverse interventions and close collaboration between teaching and therapeutic staff, building confidence, wellbeing, and trusting relationships that help every student reach their full potential. Our aim is to incorporate a variety of interventions that will form a secure foundation for our students’ learning, and it is our belief that if staff connect, focus, and support students to develop self-esteem and confidence, it will create healthy, trusting relationships where students can then flourish during their time here. Therapeutic provision is an integral part of the foundation day, delivering support from a multi-disciplinary team of professionals. In developing a close relationship between teachers, HLTA’s, and emotional wellbeing, and therapeutic staff, we can maximise the potential of every student.

Thrive Approach

Thrive is an approach that is integrated throughout the foundation, a systematic methodology for the early identification of emotional developmental needs in children and young people. Thrive enhances emotional literacy and directly contributes to the development of learning power by enabling children and young people to be resilient, resourceful, reciprocal, and reflective.

It provides practitioners with tools, skills, and insights needed to help the students be more emotionally resilient and better placed to re-engage with learning. It can make learning more accessible, more effective, and more fun.
