In Term 1, our Year 8 students completed a unit called 'Our Minds Matter.' These lessons allowed students to recognise the importance of looking after our mental health and wellbeing. One in five people suffer from mental health conditions, which highlights the importance of this unit. The students focused on ways that they are able to support their mental health, and implement strategies to strengthen it. They also explored misconceptions about mental health and positive language to support those with mental health concerns.

The work we are show casing from this unit are some Care Plans. The students were required to create these for people who are struggling with poor mental health and/or when someone needs support.
