Introduction:
Over the past few decades there has been an increase in children and young people (CYP) experiencing mental health difficulties in both primary and secondary schools. It is estimated that 1 in 10 CYP will be suffering from MH problems (aged between 5 – 16 years). A further 15% have less severe problems that put them at increased risk of developing mental health problems in the future. The impact of lockdown and social distancing measures due to Covid-19 has also highlighted the importance of focusing on protecting and promoting the emotional health and wellbeing of the whole school community.
The training will help you to:
- Explore the concepts of emotional wellbeing and mental health, and have a clearer understanding of what contributes to these
- Introduce key models in relation to a whole school approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health
- Reflect upon how children with emotional/mental health difficulties are identified
- Consider protective factors and building resilience for good mental health
- Be aware of classroom resources for promoting emotional wellbeing and mental health
- Raise awareness of the importance of staff wellbeing
- Review current practice and how this could be improved to enhance wellbeing
