Self-care summer toolkit

The summer holidays can be a time to relax, recharge and take a break.

However, school and college staff can find it difficult to switch off during summer, while young people may struggle with the loss of structure and not seeing their friends every day.

It’s important that you and your students look after their mental wellbeing during the break. The summer can also be a great time to develop good self-care habits, so that when term starts again, you have techniques you can turn to in stressful times.

This toolkit contains activities, teaching materials and guidance to help support and boost mental wellbeing over the summer and beyond.

It is divided into resources to use with students and staff.
