Mental health information
On this page, you can find information about different mental health needs like anxiety or depression. You can also find pages about the factors that impact mental health.
Mental health needs
Each mental health needs page includes:
- information on the different conditions that might affect children and young people
- details of the behaviours that school or college staff might see that could indicate a student is struggling
- advice on strategies that school or college 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.
