Mental health: You don’t have to be an expert

SecEd is supporting the Make Time in November mental health campaign. Here, we give some practical advice on using the campaign’s free resources to tackle mental health across your school.

As more and more schools report increases in students with mental health problems, many heads are addressing student wellbeing and pastoral care with renewed energy this term.

The new SEN universal offer – in effect since last month – has brought an additional statutory obligation to address this issue too.

So, not surprisingly, there is an increasing demand for good advice for teachers on ways of helping young people who are having a hard time.

This autumn, as part of our own focus on mental health, SecEd has teamed up with Time to Change, the mental health campaigning body, to offer schools tried and tested ways to start conversations with students about this major pastoral issue.
