Mental Health Resource Pack for Schools
4 min read
With information revealing that half of all mental health issues present before the age of 14, we can see just how important it is that schools are equipped to support their students.
As a leading provider of online safeguarding training, High Speed Training produce materials designed to help teachers enable positive conversations about mental health in the classroom. Here, we’ve compiled them all together in a mental health resource pack for schools, so you can have them to hand as and when you need them.
Our pack was recently nominated for an award in the Teach Secondary Awards 2019 Safeguarding Category, along with some incredible resources for schools and teachers.

Our mental health resource pack includes:
- A Guide to Promoting Positive Mental Health in Schools – Contains information on the current state of child mental health across the UK, plus activity ideas for teachers to foster positive discussions about mental wellbeing in the classroom.
