Mental health information
Mental health needs
Information on the different conditions that might affect children and young people, the behaviours that school staff might see that could indicate a student is struggling, and the strategies that school staff can employ to support them.
Factors that impact mental health
This section of the site helps school staff understand the many risk factors that may challenge and undermine children and young people’s mental health.
Each page provides information about key risk factors and how schools and colleges can play a major part in helping pupils build a ‘protective shield’ against these risks.
