This book provides a comprehensive guide to designing and delivering a safe, confident and inclusive mental health curriculum for primary and secondary schools.
It offers support strategies for staff, ensuring they feel equipped to teach sensitive and sometimes challenging topics, explores how to support social and emotional learning across the curriculum, and discusses how to work with parents and carers to broaden the impact of mental health teaching outside of the school.
Written with an intersectional perspective to meet diverse student needs, it includes case studies to demonstrate how key topics can play out in classrooms, reflective questions to deepen your understanding of important issues and a set of flexible lesson plans, designed to work across age phases, that can guide your medium-term planning.
This is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders with an interest in supporting high-quality mental health teaching in schools.
