  16. 4. Some additional support/provision for schools

  17. Kooth: Kooth is a free, anonymous, and confidential online counselling and emotional well-being support service, providing young people (age 11-25) with a safe and secure means of accessing support from a professional team of qualified counsellors. Kooth also provides 24/7 access to useful and practical articles, self-help documents and moderated forums where children and young people can discuss important issues relevant to them. www.kooth.com Please make contact with Denise Brown by emailing dbrown@xenzone.com or call 07983556071 to organise the roll out in your school.

  18. Upcoming training: Youth Mental Health First Aid Free training available to all schools (Bi-Borough) – Multiple dates available The training equips staff working with children and young people (aged 8-18) with the knowledge, skills and confidence to identify and assist CYP experiencing mental health issues on a first aid basis. It trains the adults in a young person’s life to have the skills and confidence to step in, offer first aid, and guide them towards the support they need. As a result, CYP are better able to get the support they require at the earliest opportunity. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/thrive-ldn-youth-mental-health-first-aid-2-day-training-tickets-56496532650 • Free training on Suicide Awareness and Prevention • Delivered by Papyrus (Westminster only currently). For staff from both primary and secondary schools (1 place in total per school) Identifying and Talking about Suicide training (3hrs) – For members of a wellbeing team or pastoral support Participants on this training will learn what suicide ‘invitations’ look like, how to respond to them and how to work with that person to keep them suicide-safe – including, where necessary, which supports or organisations to signpost onto. 1st May ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) – For Senior leadership teams or Designated safeguarding leads ASIST trains participants to reduce the immediate risk of a suicide and increase the support for a person at risk. The workshop helps participants recognise what a person at risk may need from others in order to keep safe and get help. 2-day training (4th and 5th July) • Please RSVP to London@papyrus-uk.org and state who will be attending and their role

  19. 5. Link Governor for Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health

  20. A discussion: We expect there soon to be a national requirement for schools to have a Link Governor for Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health. Do you already have someone on your governing body focusing on emotional wellbeing and mental health? What do you think about this as a proposal?

  21. 6. Children and young people’s perspectives on what they want in schools to support their mental health

  22. Views of CYP HLP/NHS England commissioned Young Minds to work with children and young people to gain their perspectives on what they want in schools to support their mental health

  23. CYP Views • Amplified and Healthy London Partnership Insights Report • 1. Every pupil knows who is responsible for and can help with mental health issues • Make sure we know who to go to in school if we are struggling and need someone to talk to-share this information in lots of ways, like assemblies and on posters • 2. Every adult in the school offers a good first response if I say or show I am struggling with my mental health • We want the staff who have contact with us daily to notice if we are struggling and know how to help us find the right person and place to get support from if we need it. • 3. Bullying is dealt with effectively • If we have experienced bullying, we want to get emotional support quickly and easily from school- and we want bullies as well as victims to get support and assistance from school. • 4. Empower us to understand and take a role in caring for our mental health • We want useful information which is co-designed and delivered by people like us about how we can take care of our mental health and how to get help if we need it. We want this in lots of different ways like lessons as well as information resources we can use on our own.

  24. Children and Young People’s Views • 5. Extra support for pupils that are struggling • If a pupil is struggling, we want someone such as the forum tutor to check in every day and see how they are. This can make a huge difference when you are going through a hard time. And we want personalized plans to help us come back to school if we’ve had to take time off because of our mental health. • 6. Emotional and practical support during busy, stressful times • Exam time is a really stressful time for us. We want information and advice on how to cope with the pressure we feel and quick and easy access to support if we feel it’s getting too much. • 7. A place to go to on hard days • We want a quiet space designed to promote wellbeing that we can go to when we are having a hard time and feel overwhelmed. We can use it clear our heads and calm down if we need to, as well as build ourselves up to carry on for the day • 8. Signposting to support in our area and beyond • We are in school so much that’s it’s one of the best ways for us to find out about what other things can support us outside of school. We want school to provide information about local mental health services as well as other wellbeing activities we could use locally or online.

  25. Children and Young People’s Views • 9. Pupil involvement in making the school more mentally healthy • We know what things impact our mental health and what could help school promote our positive mental health, so we want to be involved in designing the policies, projects and activities that are about our mental health. • 10. Recognising us as individuals • We want to be recognised for all the things we do and are interested in, not just our academic achievement as that can make us feel pressured. We want school to help us take part in things we enjoy outside of lessons that help us work out who we are and feel good about ourselves. • https://www.healthylondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Amplified-and-HLP-School-Insights-Report-2018.pdf
