Mental Health & Wellbeing Guide (KS 3&4)

Mental Health & Wellbeing Guide (KS 3&4)

Overview

Teaching young people about mental health and well-being is essential, as it promotes awareness and understanding.
 

At each key stage, we have used the National Curriculum, providing links and examples of how mental health can be delivered through a range of subjects.
Each key stage has 3-5 bespoke lesson plans through which the topic of mental health can be delivered as part of the inspire and inform steps of Youth Social Action. Providing the young people with a strong basis for them to link these to Social Action projects at either a local or national level.

The Ormiston #WeWill youth social action campaign aimed to empower young people across the Ormiston network and non-Ormiston schools to build relationships and share best practices. Our overall aim was to ensure that young people would drive and determine action and staff would ensure young people were given the skills to succeed, and the chance to engage with other young people to share and develop practice across the country.
