Mind Your Head is an award-winning programme, with two simple targets. We want to develop young people’s understanding of Mental Health, and their ability to acknowledge changes with their own Mental Health. Alongside improving their confidence to have conversations around Mental Health as well as being comfortable to ask questions of their peers if they feel it is appropriate.
We believe that the support required for young people has changed since the inception of the programme. The initial programme was focused on informing and educating young people as to what Mental Health and Wellbeing is, and what may impact their Mental Health. Now, we are moving the programme forward with a focus on recognising the signs, symptoms and triggers of mental ill health, both individually and within their peer groups.
The target audience for the programme is Year 8 and 9 students, providing them with the knowledge of how to manage their mental wellbeing before they experience the increase in school pressure during their GCSE’s and growing outside influences.
