Young Minds – Amplified Project Report
As part of the Mental Health in Schools Project, Young Minds worked together with Healthy London Partnership to:
- Collect existing pupil insights work from London schools around mental health and analyse these to identify key themes
- Facilitate a workshop session to review these insights and develop a top ten summary of ways young people want schools to support their mental health
The top ten insights are:
- Every pupil knows who is responsible for and can help with mental health issues
- Every adult n the school offers a good first response if I say or show I am struggling with my mental health
- Bullying is dealt with effectively
- Empower us to understand and take a role in caring for our mental health
- Extra support for pupils that are struggling
- Emotional and practical support during busy, stressful times
- A place to go on hard days
- Signposting to support in our area and beyond
- Pupil involvement in making the school more mentally healthy
- Recognising us as individuals
