Schools and Families

Education in Mind is a free service aimed at educating and supporting students, staff and parents in school.

Active Monitoring in schools uses assemblies, workshops and one-to-ones to give pupils the skills to understand and improve their mental health.

Dorset Mind has toolkits and lessons to be downloaded to use in schools.

There are other organisations and charities that provide teaching resources and information for schools on mental health.

Dorset Mind is in the process of setting up up parent ‘Tea and Talk’ mornings in schools across Dorset.

It is never too early or late to start talking about your child’s emotional and mental wellbeing.

Supporting someone else can affect your mental health and make it harder to stay well.
