Mental Health In Schools with Prof. Willem Kuyken
This is the first of 3 podcasts with Professor Willem Kuyken in which we discuss mental health in schools culminating in an episode about the Myriad Trial (My Resilience in Adolescence) which looked at the impact of a brief Mindfulness intervention on the wellbeing of young teens. In this episode we start with a broad discussion around mental health in young people, the role schools have in supporting mental health, why mental health and wellbeing interventions should be evidence based, what \u2018evidence based\u2019 actually means\xa0and,\xa0the challenges of delivering universal interventions.\xa0\xa0We begin a discussion of school climate and how this may be central if we\u2019re to take a fresh and evidence-based approach to mental health in schools.
Willem references Casel in our discussion -\xa0here is the link\xa0should you wish to find out more. Another couple of useful links are\xa0Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Centre\xa0and\xa0the EEF Toolkit
