<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Mental health is much more than the absence of mental illness. It also means having self-belief and the resilience to cope with stress and change. In order to teach such skills, teachers and other staff must equip themselves and their workplaces with the procedures, understanding, and confidence required to monitor mental health, share concepts effectively, and act appropriately if issues arise. <i>Mental Health and Wellbeing in Primary Education</i> puts all the information you need at your fingertips--with detailed guidance on creating a culture of wellbeing, overviews of key educational challenges and transitions, and early warning signs to look out for. The authors also explore how a range of common mental health problems that can affect learning (including anxiety, low mood, attachment difficulties, eating disorders, and ADHD) are typically identified, diagnosed, and managed. Supported by a wealth of ready-made forms, exercises, and lesson plans, <i>Mental Health and Wellbeing in Primary Education</i> offers a practical, up-to-date look at how teachers and other education professionals can monitor, encourage, and teach mental wellbeing among primary age children. Wherever you or the children you support are on their wellbeing journey, this book can help.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sarah Jordan</b> is a Clinical Psychologist with Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust, and has worked with children and families for 13 years.
