Description

This unit explores strategies for supporting mental health and wellbeing. Pupils learn how talking helps mental health, understand factors that influence it, develop skills for managing emotions, and practise calming and relaxation techniques to build resilience.

As Year 8 pupils face increasing academic and social pressures during adolescence, they need practical strategies to support their mental health and build resilience. This unit provides essential skills for emotional regulation, stress management and seeking support when needed. At this developmental stage, pupils can understand mental health as something everyone experiences and maintains, empowering them to develop healthy habits that will support their wellbeing throughout adolescence and beyond.
