Supporting schools to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people
In our own words - new mental health resources
Thursday 6th July 2023
In our own words is a new package of resources is now available for parents, carers, teachers, and others who want to support the mental health of children and young people. It is the result of a collaboration between the Charlie Waller Trust, The Charlie Watkins Foundation, and Boys In Mind.
It comprises:
- Two video scenarios of adults interacting with young people. They show common responses to distress which don’t go so well, followed by ‘better’ responses.
- A set of videos of children and young people describing what they find helpful from adults when they’re feeling sad, angry, or frightened; how they know when adults are listening to them; and how adults can encourage children and young people to talk to them.
- A written guide to accompany the videos.
