Mental Health and Resilience

Mental health and resilience are a really important part of helping young people become the best version of themselves. Young people are dealing with more pressure than ever, from school, friendships, social media, expectations and the challenges they face growing up.

This session gives them the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to understand their mental health, deal with difficult emotions and cope when life gets tough. It also helps them recognise when things aren't right, understand that asking for help is a strength, and know where they can turn for support.

Ultimately, it’s about helping young people build the resilience to face challenges, believe in themselves and feel better equipped to deal with whatever life throws at them.

This session supports schools in meeting their safeguarding and wellbeing responsibilities, including those outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2026, the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026. The session supports early identification of mental health concerns, promotes help-seeking and resilience, and gives young people practical tools to manage challenges and recognise when they may need additional support.

By the end of the session, young people should be able to:

1. Understand what mental health means and recognise that everyone has mental health

2. Identify some of the factors that can affect their mental health, including friendships, family, school, social media, sleep.

3. Recognise changes in their own thoughts, feelings and behaviour that might indicate they're struggling.

4. Understand what resilience means and recognise that being resilient doesn't mean dealing with everything alone.

5. Identify healthy and unhealthy coping strategies.

6. Learn practical techniques for managing difficult emotions, stress and setbacks.

7. Understand the importance of supportive relationships and identify trusted adults or sources of support.

8. Know when a problem is becoming too big to manage alone and understand the importance of asking for help.

9. Challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, such as catastrophising, all-or-nothing thinking and negative self-talk.

10. Develop a personal resilience toolkit that they can use when things become difficul
