Mental Health and Well-being in Primary Education
Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-912755-92-9 (ISBN)
As attitudes to mental health shift, primary schools in England will teach compulsory lessons on health (including mental health) from 2020. Yet mental health is far more than the absence of illness - it also means having self-belief and the resilience to cope with stress and change. In order to teach such skills, teachers and other staff must equip themselves and their workplaces with the procedures, understanding and confidence required to monitor mental health, share concepts effectively, identify warning signs and act appropriately if issues arise. Mental Health and Wellbeing in Primary Education puts all the information they need at their fingertips - with detailed guidance on creating a culture of wellbeing, overviews of how a wide variety of common mental health problems are diagnosed and managed, warning signs to look out for, and a range of ready-made forms, exercises and lesson plans
