Primary Mental Health - What Teachers Should Know

February 3, 2014 by Administrator

This programme looks at some of the common emotional and behavioural issues that affect primary pupils, and how teachers can spot the early warning signs.

Educational Psychologist John McDonagh outlines a range of disorders that can affect children, including ADHD and emotional issues such as depression.

We hear from headteacher Carole Couch at Priory Lane Junior School, Scunthorpe, who has years of experience in developing pupils' emotional wellbeing and tackling barriers to their education.

Finally, Year 3 teacher Sheila Hansford recounts her experiences with pupils struggling with mental health issues, and speaks honestly about how this has affected her as a teacher.
