This book shows how to create a mentally healthy school by empowering young people to champion emotional wellbeing and positive mental health.

It provides a practical toolkit to recruit and train Wellbeing Champions so that they can help to create an ethos and culture of positive mental health that ensures early access to the support and help needed.

It explains how by focusing on emotions, selfcare, resilience, communication and support systems schools can identify what’s working well and address areas for development. The detailed and user-friendly resources support every stage and include lessons and activities, supervision and training sessions, risk assessments, application forms, feedback forms and certificates.

Wellbeing Champions is for primary and secondary schools who want to take a whole-school approach to improve the wellbeing of both students and staff at KS2, KS3 and KS4.
