The School Mental Health Toolkit is the essential practical guide to supporting the mental health of our young people in schools, providing a holistic approach to school culture, learning habits and impactful interventions. The School Mental Health Toolkit lays out a practical and supportive approach to tackling the mental health crisis in schools through promoting a positive and supportive school culture. This book supports you to identify needs, make referrals, offer universal provision and empower young people to understand their own mental health, build resilience, challenge stigma and prejudice, foster compassion, talk about their own needs and ask for help. From experienced school leader and mental health trainer Andrew Cowley, this book tackles the crisis and challenges that have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Andrew includes specific support for the Designated Mental Health Lead, as well as for leaders, promoting buy-in for a positive mental health culture across the whole school. This book demonstrates how creating positive school culture, as well as effective safeguarding practices and curriculum design, works to robustly support healthy learning habits, positive mental health and wellbeing for pupils throughout their education.
