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
