Last month, 210,000 teenagers in secondary schools across the country did their bit to end mental health discrimination and stigma by getting involved in Make Time in November – an initiative led by the campaigning mental health body, Time to Change, and supported by SecEd.
The idea behind the campaign was to offer free resources to schools to help them tackle mental health issues with their students. The resources were centred around four key themes:
What is mental health?
Thinking about your own mental health.
Helping your friends.
Taking action on mental health.
One of the 320 schools taking part in the programme was Skinners’ Academy in Hackney, where Laura Windebank is the academy counsellor.
