Keeping Minds Happy and Healthy

This practical resource for teachers shows how pupils can achieve and maintain excellent mental health. It focuses on identifying the main causes of unhappiness, stress and anxiety, by examining the difficulties school systems inadvertently create for pupils. By suggesting ways to create a more positive educational experience for all pupils, Pat Guy shows how schools can increase all pupils¿ well-being, enabling them to deal with the challenging situations they face as they move through education and into the adult world. By developing skills of resilience, empathic behaviour and self-respect, this book will help pupils withstand the many pressures of modern society and growing up.
