Mental Health Guide

The mental health discussion guide is a resource developed by Raising Voices to help address mental health needs of schools. This guide is designed to help schools and educators address the day-to-day mental health problems students and teachers may experience. It also seeks to provide the basic skills and information for managing common mental health problems. It suggests ideas of what schools can do to ensure that their teachers and learners maintain positive mental health. This guide does not address clinical mental health illnesses. However, through this guide teachers and potentially even caregivers can be in position to recognize mental health problems among learners and seek further medical support for severe cases.
