As rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and eating disorders are
on the up among young people, how can schools provide appropriate
information and support for the young people in their classrooms?
How can they bridge the gap between what they know matters - the
impact of these issues on learning and life-long health - and the
mounting day-to-day priorities and pressures of school life? This
book provides unique insight into 12 projects that are helping to
answer these questions and supporting teachers to make mental
health and emotional wellbeing a key player in the school day. With
a mix of longer-term initiatives and simple strategies that schools
can put in place immediately, it explores mentoring and
mindfulness, social action and sport, Lego play and poetry, the
power of parents and the role of PSHE. It describes how these
projects work practically and shares the impact they are having,
increasing resilience and raising the aspirations and emotional
wellbeing of the whole school community. As well as showcasing
ideas that are making a difference, the book meets with the
education leaders and charities behind the initiatives (including
Place2Be, Step up to Serve, Kidscape, Mosaic, Diversity Role
Models, Beat, Achievement for All and others) who offer advice and
signpost useful information to support readers in getting these
ideas off the ground in their schools. This book is a source of
inspiration for headteachers, senior leadership teams, pastoral
care teams, school counsellors and psychologists.
