Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Learners 11-18 Years by Jonathan Glazzard

Helps teachers to identify and support primary-aged children with mental health needs, providing a range of evidence-based tools.

The mental health and well-being of children in primary schools is a current concern.

• Do you feel equipped to identify mental health needs in your pupils?
• Do you have the knowledge and understanding to adequately support them?
• Do you understand where your responsibilities start and stop?

This book helps you address these questions and more, providing a range of

evidence-based strategies and tools. It introduces the various risk factors

involved, shows how you can build resilience in children, and focuses on identifying and supporting both specific mental health needs and particular groups of pupils.
