1 HEALTH.MIND.MATTERS Mental Health and Schools Comprehensive, accessible, world class learning for primary and secondary schools in the UK 2015 brochure

2 Mental health and school life We believe the impact of mental health learning needs to be far reaching. That s why our whole school mental health programme considers all aspects of school life:

3 Our approach Maudsley Learning s Mental Health and Schools programme offers you an extensive range of workshops, learning events and online learning packages. Our approach is: responsive, practical and facilitative. This means we will deliver whatever is best for your school to help you prioritise whole school mental health. When it comes to facilitating learning events we know that time is valuable and we want you to see a real return on your investment. All our learning events are underpinned by current theories, contemporary research and knowledge. Concentrating on your real-life in-school experiences we will share practical tools, techniques and approaches that you can immediately take away and use. Maudsley Learning s network of expert and engaging facilitators work to the highest standard and bring a wealth of skills, specialism and creativity to all our learning events. We always want people to leave our learning events with more knowledge AND the confidence and commitment to make an improvement to mental health in the school environment. Our unique and accessible digital platform, Maudsley Learning Online, serves as an extensive resource hub, a central repository for references, current literature, best practice, guidance and templates. You can choose to sign up to a community online and join in discussion and debate, or perhaps add to your knowledge and take one of our online learning courses.

4 Our schools programme prioritises: Maudsley Learning s approach to whole school mental health focuses on the very real world of teaching and the role of education providers in promoting mental health, understanding mental health issues and knowing what to do to make a difference. Staff confidence in their ability to promote and facilitate discussion around mental health and mental health issues Mental health awareness and mental health promotion Practical ways of managing mental health issues in the school community Professional roles and pastoral support Using existing subject areas, lessons and systems as opportunities for learning about mental health Emotional intelligence and emotional literacy for all Staff mental health and work life balance Boundaries and duty of care of teaching and learning support staff in relation to pupil mental health Knowledge and recognition of mental health issues in the school community Building a community of mental health ambassadors Engaging pupils about their own mental health and wellbeing Practical skills that can immediately be applied to individual classrooms Early intervention knowing when/where to signpost for support Wellbeing policies to enable whole school mental health Whole school mental health

5 Schools should be healthy places that support the emotional and mental wellbeing of both young people and staff. For this to happen the school needs to have an open and honest culture, which promotes and is respectful of both young people s and staff s emotional and mental wellbeing. (Resilience and Results, 2012) School staff are in a good position to help reduce the stigma around mental health, identify emerging mental health difficulties and work with local statutory and voluntary sector providers to ensure that young people access specialist support when they need it Paula Lavis Children and Young People s Coalition, 2014

6 Mental health problems often have their roots in childhood, so tackling problems when they first emerge is both morally right and cost effective (Department of Health, 2011) We know that there may be times when you want to access specific mental health learning as a priority. Therefore in addition to our comprehensive whole school programme, we also offer a series of off-the-shelf one day, half day and bite size learning events all of which focus on children and young people s mental health. Details of our workshops are detailed in pages below:
