Secondary mental health. What teachers should know
Description
With around one in ten pupils in secondary schools suffering from a diagnosable mental health disorder, this programme outlines the most common issues, and the role of teachers. Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Greg Richardson describes a range of problems pupils may face, and how they can manifest themselves in their behaviour in the classroom. Issues tackled in the programme include: self-harm, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. At Endeavour High School, Hull, experienced geography teacher Penny Darmody and social inclusion co-ordinator Norma Burr speak frankly about their experiences with pupils and the warning signs of a mental health problem.
