Mental health and wellbeing
Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. Mental health is a state of wellbeing where people can meet their learning potential, cope with normal stresses, and are connected to community and their friends
Why mental health and wellbeing is promoted in schools
For most people, mental health issues emerge when they are young — half of all mental disorders emerge by the time people are 14 years old and three quarters by 25 years old – the same period when most people are in education.
As well as increasing a person's opportunity and choices in life, promoting mental health and wellbeing as a core role in education helps students:
- flourish in their education journey
- build resilience against adversity
- develop protective factors from mental ill-health
- provide them with skills and confidence to self-seek help for early intervention.
- Key features of promoting mental health and wellbeing in schools
- Whole of school approaches
A whole school approach involves everyone (schools leaders, teachers, staff and parents) to embed a safe and inclusive learning culture and environments, including:
providing social and emotional skills programs
providing timely support for those with additional needs
involving students and families in decision-making.
Resilience building for students
- Resilience is the ability to cope and thrive in the face of negative events, challenges or adversity. It is a skill that can be developed through:
positive social connections
safe environments
life skills such as positive coping and problem solving skills
- pro-social values
- positive self-regard
- and a sense of purpose and agency or responsibility.
- Building staff capacity to promote and protect mental health
