Mental Health Support Must go Beyond the Counsellor's Office
Mental health support shouldn’t be confined to a counsellor's office. It should be integrated into everyday school life, from classroom practices to leadership decisions. This is the idea behind our whole-school approach.
Support is built into a school from the ground up - from classroom routines and school events to leadership decisions. This holistic approach recognises that students' mental health is influenced by many factors: academic pressure, relationships, digital experiences, and their home environment.
