Secondary school is a complex part of any young person’s life. It is the stage in which they are figuring out who they are and exploring their self-concept. They are navigating their way through social groups and relationships and they have many chemical and hormonal changes that impact their judgement, mood and overall wellbeing.
Furthermore, there are many young people walking in to school every morning who are dealing with very difficult circumstances or experiences that are affecting their mental health and wellbeing. This influences their learning capacity at school.
The concept of a therapeutic school can help all young people reduce stress, anxiety and that feeling of being overwhelmed. Here I want to focus on how you can make the school environment therapeutic to allow for a calmer atmosphere, which will help students to refocus and re-engage.
