Mental Health Awareness Week 13th - 19th May

Mental Health Awareness Week is run by the Mental Health Foundation; this year it takes place from the 13 May - 19 May. The theme is Movement: Moving more for our mental health.

At Teach in Time we understand the importance of the connection between physical and mental health for all ages! just 30 minutes of movement a day is a great way to enhance our wellbeing.

When we set up Teach in Time, we made a decision to train for an purchase the NUCO Mini-Medics Mental Health Course. So we can deliver this into schools, youth groups, clubs and organisations. This course is designed for children, however there is alot of information in there for adult too. This course can be delivered online to classes.

Mini-Medics Mental Health Student Course

Teach In Time can deliver the Mini-Medic Mental Health Course. We run two courses, a 1 hour course, and a 3 hour course. This course can be delivered conveniently online to a class of students, through the Classin platform.

These mental health course are designed for children between the ages of 9 and 13, but can be adapted to suit children of any age.

The course includes the following modules:

• Understanding mental health

• Emotions and feelings

• Mental health problems

• Talking about mental health

• Looking after our mental health

This course will provide the children with a basic understanding of mental health, including what mental health means, how it is linked to physical health, what to do if they have a worry and the various ways in which they can look after their mental health. 

Discussing mental health with children can be challenging - so challenging, in fact, that many of us delay it indefinitely, fearing to introduce concepts like anxiety or depression at such a young age. However, instead of shielding children from these topics, it's important to develop their ability to discuss mental health.

If you are interested in this course please do not hesitate to get in touch.
