Suicide is the leading cause of death in young people in the UK, so promoting mental health in schools isn\u2019t just desirable &#8211; it\u2019s essential. Statistics reveal that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>75% of mental illnesses start before a child reaches their 18th birthday.<sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>50% of mental health problems in adult life start before the age of 15.<\/li>\n<li>10% of school children have a diagnosable mental illness. This means that, in a class of 30 students, three will have a mental health problem.<\/li>\n<li>75% of young people with a mental health problem aren\u2019t receiving treatment.<\/li>\n<li>51% of young people feel embarrassed about mental illness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, the children\u2019s charity NSPCC report that they delivered more than 3,000 counselling sessions on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/what-is-exam-stress\/\">exam stress<\/a> in 2017. Of this number, 22% called in May \u2013 the month when deadlines and exams are looming.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34561 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/upset-student.jpg\" alt=\"Student stressed about upcoming exams\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What are the Challenges Affecting Young People?<\/h2>\n<p>A number of factors contribute to poor mental health in young people, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Exam pressures.<\/strong> The overwhelming pressure and number of exams can have a significant effect on students\u2019 mental health. The old modular style of GCSEs has been scrapped to make way for more tough and challenging GCSEs, where testing is almost exclusively through end of course exams. Students are stressed by the amount of information they need to know and the pressure to succeed. Most are also fearful that a poor grade will ruin their future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The modern technological world.<\/strong> Young people now spend much more time indoors online rather than outside. A game of football in the park is being replaced by online games. Furthermore, young people are at a number of risks online, including exposure to upsetting content and cyberbullying, that will all affect their mental health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growing social media.<\/strong> Social media platforms are evolving and growing in popularity daily. Sites such as Instagram produce feelings of inadequacy as teens compare themselves and their lives to those of their peers. Social media also leads to reduced communication skills and reduced human interaction with friends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LGBTQ+.<\/strong> Students who identify as being LGBTQ+ often find it difficult to tell their friends and family about themselves. This could lead to feelings of loneliness, isolation, and worry as they try to remain true to themselves. Learn more about how you can promote LGBTQ+ inclusive education in schools <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/lgbtq-education-in-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Demands on young people.<\/strong> As well as the heavy pressure of exams, students often have further responsibilities that contribute to a growing amount of stress and worry. For example, there are around 700,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/supporting-young-carers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">young carers in the UK<\/a> and 80% of this number miss out on childhood experiences. This commonly leads to exhaustion and puts these children at risk of various mental health difficulties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tip__box\">\n<div class=\"tip__title__container\">\n<div class=\"tip__title__text\">\n<div class=\"tip__title__icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/expert-tip-icon.png\" alt=\"expert icon\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Want to Learn More?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Our range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/courses\/safeguarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Safeguarding Training Courses<\/a> aim to provide you with the required knowledge to carry out your work whilst meeting safeguarding requirements.

Often, even small changes can go a long way in helping somebody feel better.<\/p>\n<h4>Encourage Social Time<\/h4>\n<p>Schedule in 30 minutes or an hour every week where students can be social and focus on something other than the curriculum. Encourage them to chat with their peers and complete a task together, like a difficult problem or a challenge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34564 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/school-students.jpg\" alt=\"Students working together in the classroom\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Run Lunchtime Clubs<\/h4>\n<p>Give students the opportunity to take their mind off things at lunch by running lunchtime clubs. These clubs could be for any activity \u2013 arts and crafts, baking, drama clubs, book clubs, film clubs, etc. The sense of community will help students feel included and will relieve the pressure of work for a while.<\/p>\n<h4>Have an Open-Door Policy<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s essential that students know they can come and talk to you about any issues or concerns they have. \u00a0Communicate this to your students so they know you\u2019re always there to listen. You could even appoint a designated teacher for each year group who can support any students struggling. This person should ideally have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/courses\/mental-health\/child-mental-health-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">training in child mental health<\/a> and know how to help.<\/p>\n<h4>Make Mental Health Known<\/h4>\n<p>Sadly, mental health is still seen as a bit of a taboo subject and something that sufferers feel embarrassed to talk about. Many also feel judged if they explain their problems. As a result, you should make mental health a focus in your school. Discuss it in PHSCE lessons, address it in assemblies, and celebrate awareness days, like world mental health day, to let students know they\u2019re not alone. You can find our Mental Health Resource Pack for Schools for further guidance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/mental-health-resources-for-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You could also invite charities, such as Mind and Rethink, into school to give talks about their work and address the topic of mental health. Invite both students and parents to attend.<\/p>\n<h4>Organise a Wellness Week<\/h4>\n<p>To really put wellbeing at the heart of your school, arrange a wellness week in your school. This will benefit both staff and students alike. For your wellness week, you could:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Encourage connections<\/strong> \u2013 get students to talk to each other and interact with people they wouldn\u2019t usually talk to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Host a sports\/activities day<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/exercise-mental-health-benefits\/\">exercise<\/a> is known to boost endorphins, so make use of this and get students and staff involved in a range of activities. Encourage students to set themselves goals (nothing too major) so they get a great self-esteem boost when they achieve it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give to others<\/strong> \u2013 organise charity events, such as a bake sale or a fancy-dress day, and donate the proceeds to mental health charities. Giving to others is known to reduce stress and improve emotional wellbeing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be mindful<\/strong> \u2013 host mindfulness sessions and create a calming environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34568 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sports-day.jpg\" alt=\"Promoting mental health in schools through sports\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Promoting mental health in schools is something we must all prioritise.
