Teacher resources for information and inspiration: • NHS website, Mental health page: a useful starting point to understand mental health/mental ill health • Mind is a charity that is useful to access info about mental health – you can also download leaflets from its website. • Young Minds charity has a number of useful resources available for school staff on its website. • Royal College of Psychiatrists website, the Mental health page offers different perspectives.
This and the next two lessons address mental health disorders and responses to change and loss. If this might be triggering for any students, speak to your SLT about how to proceed. If you are worried about any of your students, address your hunch and follow the correct protocol in your school/college. Kickstart | 5 mins • Show Slide 1 to introduce the lesson and the objectives. Ask: ‘What does physical health mean to you?’
‘What does mental health mean to you?’ Allow students to discuss this in small groups or think about it quietly and write down their responses as an initial assessment of understanding (see slide notes).
Activate | 20 mins • Display Slide 2 and read the quotation from Caroline Hounsell, our mental health expert, then talk through the slide notes. Follow up by reading through the self-soothing techniques outlined on Slides 3 and 4 and in the slide notes. • Show Slide 5 and explain that this continuum is used to explore mental health: for example, it might highlight how someone may seem OK but actually has poor mental health (see slide notes). Print out
Slide 5 for students or enlarge it on the board so they can follow it, then tell them they are going to watch a video in which Caroline talks them through it. • Show Video 6.5. Note the question at the end: ‘Where do you think you are right now?’ This is a personal question, and the answer doesn’t have to be discussed or shared, but remind students that if they feel they are not thriving they can talk to the school/college safeguarding/pastoral team (tell them who these are and where to find them) and/or their GP to get help. After they’ve watched the video, go through Slide 6 (and the slide notes) with students, referencing their printout of the diagram. • Tell students there are things we can do to keep ourselves healthy (sometimes called protective factors).
These are things people can do or develop in themselves that can help them get through difficult times.
Ask: ‘What things could you suggest to someone, including yourself, who appeared to be struggling?’ (e.g. creativity, fun, exercising, eating well, talking about stuff, keeping physically healthy, connecting to others. You could encourage students to think back to the lesson on perfectionism and keeping healthy.) • Ask students to complete the wordsearch on simple protective factors on Worksheet 6.5a. (Answers: sleep, healthy diet, exercise, friendships, fun, creativity, digital detox, get outside, rest, nature, positive thinking, meditation, mindfulness, limit alcohol, limit caffeine, limit sugar, self-love, be brave, face fears, honest conversations, keep learning, help others, find direction, acceptance, community.) Wrap it up | 5 mins • Talk through Slide 7 and the slide notes and discuss any other things students think they could do to help themselves. Show Slide 8 to ensure they know where to go for help – also see the slide notes. Extending | 20 mins • Give students copies of Worksheet 6.4b. Ask them to consider the scenarios and the healthiest approach to them, deciding whether they need to act on something positively and perhaps courageously, or accept it and let it go. (Answers: C, A, A, A, C, A, C, C) These are good discussion opportunities and views will vary, so these answers are not definitive. Essentially the message is that we can offer ideas, love and support to others but ultimately we can only change our own ways and our own thinking.
