Mental health for pupils and teachers within primary and secondary schools is a vital concern, especially after Coronavirus.
Unfortunately the Coronavirus changed the daily routine in many schools around the world.
Such disruption and uncertainty within an educational setting has the potential to unbalance the wellbeing of school leaders, school staff, senior leaders and all the young people that are part of the whole school culture.
Positive mental health and emotional health within education settings is imperative, if schools are to retain health and wellbeing.
Raising mental health awareness and offering mental health support to teachers, children and young people, is a great way to reduce the stigma around mental health and ensures that everyone in the school community feels comfortable discussing any issues they may have.
It’s critical for a school leader to comprehend his or her staff’s mental health and well-being.
After all, they are the ones who keep a school running!
The mySchoolWellbeing platform aids in this by asking teachers, school staff and pupils, for comments on a regular basis and then sending you an easy-to-understand wellbeing report straight to your inbox.
It’s a more hands-off approach than the time-consuming formal meetings, allowing you to identify and address any concerns immediately.
