As attitudes to mental health shift, schools are taking the wellbeing of
their pupils much more seriously. All schools in England are required to
provide lessons on health and wellbeing; in addition, most now have a
mental health leadership role. 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. To teach such skills, staff must equip
themselves and their workplaces with the procedures, understanding, and
confidence needed to monitor mental health, share concepts effectively,
and act appropriately if issues arise. Mental Health and Wellbeing in
Secondary Education puts all the information they need at their
fingertips--with guidance on creating a culture of wellbeing, warning
signs to look out for, and overviews of how a range of common mental
health and wellbeing problems can be identified and managed.
