Is mental health provision a concern in your school?

Are you looking to develop a whole school approach to mental health issues?

Do you need targeted, evidence-informed strategies?

Suitable for both primary and secondary age phases, this book is exactly what you need by giving you targeted strategies for developing a whole school approach to mental health provision. The importance of creating a whole school culture which promotes a positive attitude towards mental health is emphasised throughout.

Now completely revised to be relevant for a post-pandemic world, it provides:

concise and practical guidance, practical case studies, thought-provoking questions to encourage reader reflection, and supportive techniques taken from teaching practice.

The case studies reflect practice from schools that have completed the mental health award, including scenarios involving Senior Mental Health leads in schools, and there is new content related to:

the impact of Covid-19, developing a mental health curriculum, partnership working, vulnerable groups and individuals, mental health interventions, supporting staff well-being, and age-phase-specific considerations.

Reviews for A Whole School Approach to Mental Health and Well-being

"""A well-researched and informed second edition of a much-needed text. This book raises awareness of the challenges and demands on children and young people’s mental health from a variety of perspectives. Presented in a comprehensive and sensitive way, the authors draw on current data relating to the impact of poor mental health on learners in different contexts, and key theories in understanding the mental health continuum. Teachers are given practical support and advice through sensitive discussion, useful strategies and real-life case studies with opportunities to reflect on in their own setting context. Essential reading for anyone working in schools!"" -- Dr Rhiannon Packer * Senior Lecturer in Additional Learning Needs at Cardiff Metropolitan University *"
