Teaching about mental health and emotional well-being (PSHE, Key Stage 3 and 4)

In a small-scale survey, 91% of students said that young people should learn about mental health through the PSHE teaching programme.

Outline
Teaching about mental health and emotional well-being promotes pupils’ well-being through the development of healthy coping strategies and an understanding of their own emotions as well as those of other people. It can also play a vital role in safeguarding pupils.
