Developing a whole school approach to supporting positive mental health
Dr Asha Patel outlines strategies educational staff and senior leaders can implement to develop a mentally healthy culture. Instead of focusing on mental health issues in individual students, her approach centres on the promotion of positive mental health and well-being across the whole school community. This includes increasing resilience, developing healthy coping strategies and accessing support.
This therapeutic approach incorporates trauma and attachment-informed models and embeds reflective and restorative practice.
