Educators now have access to an invaluable free online resource that can help them promote student mental health. Student Mental Health Matters: A Toolkit for Educators was created by public media producers in collaboration with mental health organisations and features over 50 videos and supporting materials, including expert and student perspectives on mental health.
The toolkit covers five key topics: suicide prevention, stress and anxiety, self-harm, adverse childhood experiences, and social media. It is designed for educators but can be used by anyone.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 10 to 14-year-olds, and mental health difficulties are on the rise. This makes the Student Mental Health Matters: A Toolkit for Educators an invaluable resource for educators. It provides them with the knowledge and tools they need to support their students’ mental health.
PBS LearningMedia, the online education platform behind the toolkit, offers free educational resources for PreK-12 educators and students. It works with numerous organisations and individuals to create standards-aligned content, lesson plans, and other resources. Furthermore, PBS LearningMedia takes digital privacy and security seriously and has implemented policies and procedures to ensure the highest standards for its users.
