Mental health: Getting students talking

The Make Time in November mental health campaign got 234,000 students talking about mental health. Here, we explain more about the on-going campaign and celebrate those schools that took part.

 

Last year, SecEd supported the Make Time in November campaign launched by Time to Change, England’s biggest programme to end the stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental health problems.

The idea was to enlist as many secondary schools as possible in a nationwide movement to extend Time to Change’s message to more young people. In the event, 348 schools and educational organisations signed up and during November an estimated 234,000 students participated in the four simple sessions designed by Time to Change. The resources centred around four key themes: 

What is mental health? 

Thinking about your own mental health.

Helping your friends. 

Taking action on mental health.
