But our children and grandchildren face a far more challenging outlook. We need a renewed focus on children” “This report questions whether we have got the balance right in our society and should act as a wake-up call. The evidence is crystal clear and the opportunity is huge investing in children is a certain way of improving the economic health of our nation, as well as our children’s well-being.” (Professor Dame Sally C Davies, Chief Medical Officer; Oct 2013) ‘Time to Change’ will help schools engage with strategic objectives of Kent’s Healthy School Enhancement; Developing healthy behaviours Supporting raised achievement.

Schools welcomed multi agency staff into the school to raise awareness of mental health It was an opportunity to let young people know that the school nurse was available to see them on a regular basis and offered a confidential `drop in` service Young people were made aware of other services available within the local community – Youth service, Cruse bereavement support , Targeted youth support , Samaritans.

25. Our Experience

26. The Challenge Last October ‘Time to Change’ launched its first ever competition in schools to get students talking about mental health. Students were asked to design a campaign that challenges people’s attitudes and behaviour towards people with mental health problems. Over 50 schools in the West Midlands area signed up to take part in the competition.

27. How Students from the Nuneaton Academy got involved Students and Teachers in the Academy took part with campaigns using; • Creative writing • Short film • Art • Baking (Including a message on biscuits about time to change and how to make a pledge) • Power points • Stalls at parents evening • Posters around the school • Information on school website • Article in school news letter

28. My experience being involved in the campaign • Lead Staff member for the Academy promoting the campaign • Supporting the Wellbeing Student Leader group with their ideas to promote this • Created a Form Time Programme for a period of 6 weeks that explored mental wellbeing and lead up to the competition • Providing materials and making links resources available to whole school • Finding any opportunity to get the message spread throughout the academy and community • Creating an online page for students and staff that explore mental health, 5 a day to improved mental wellbeing and links to Time to Change Website

29. How its impacted on my work • Staff, students and parents becoming increasingly more open talking about mental health issues • Students with a mental health illness are talking more openly about their experiences. • Staff and students understand the importance of my role supporting students with their wellbeing. • Everybody talking a more active role in breaking the taboo surrounding mental health illness • This time last year we asked 108 students at random what they understood in relation to wellbeing only 8 students could provide some kind of response. This year we are in the process of collating feedback from the same number of students. Already from 70 responses I have 47 qualitative responses that discuss how we take care of our body and mind, as well as attitudes towards others

30. Why wanted to explore this • To generate greater awareness about mental wellbeing and to allow staff, students and local community to be more informed of how mental illness does not discriminate anyone and impacts on all areas of life. • To help staff, students and the community to be able to talk openly about mental health in positive manner which would allow those with an illness to be able to access support they may need without feeling judged. • With a high level of students in our school experiencing mental health illness to help normalise their experiences

31. Young carers have come forward in relation to supporting parent/s with a mental illness Student and parent feedback given to Head Teacher to say how effectively the issues of mental health have been addressed. Students, staff and parents talking more openly about mental health issues. What we achieved and unexpected benefits/successes Sharing Time to Change message at a student voice network meeting National/Local news Positive language associated with mental health with students, parents and teachers. A year on and the assemblies we delivered had a lasting impression with staff and students. From this we have developed a strong student leader well-being group. New challenges are being accepted by students. 223 pledges

32. Hopes and vision for the Time to Change Campaign Train future wellbeing leaders Be innovative Time to Change message in schools nationally
