Ensuring Wellbeing and Mental Health at School: New Guidelines for policymakers and educators

Rising mental health challenges amongst a younger and younger demographic across Europe is an issue that needs to be tackled holistically, including within the education system. This is why, the European Commission’s informal expert group on enhancing supportive learning environments for vulnerable learners and for promoting wellbeing and mental health at school has produced two sets of guidelines addressed to (1) education policymakers and (2) school leaders, teachers and educators, released on 13 May. They provide 11 recommendations to implement a whole-system and whole-school approach to wellbeing and mental health. Find the full details here as these can serve as a useful basis for advocacy work conducted by service providers who work towards fostering inclusive education.
