Mental Wellbeing in Schools: What Teachers Need to Know to Support Pupils from Diverse Backgrounds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367749651)

Teachers see the impact of pupils' mental wellbeing on the experience of school every day. But often there is not enough practical advice on what can be done to support pupils who might need help and especially for pupils from diverse backgrounds, who might face unique challenges. This important book is a practice-facing, evidence-based guide for teachers, support staff, education students, and schools, giving advice on the ways in which we can support the mental wellbeing of pupils from diverse backgrounds.

Bringing together advice and strategies for supporting pupil mental health and wellbeing, this book makes accessible key knowledge about mental health and examines how this might vary in different pupil populations by exploring the unique challenges for disadvantaged and minority pupils. Offering valuable insights into the diverse nature of pupils' mental health experiences, each chapter provides practical suggestions and approaches that teachers can use in the classroom, and schools can adopt into their pastoral care systems.

Including real-life case studies and key takeaways, Mental Wellbeing in Schools will be valuable reading for teachers in primary and secondary schools as well as school leaders.
