Joint Consortium for School Health - Positive Mental Health Toolkit

The mental health toolkit is a great resource for schools and staff.  The checklist in Chapter 4 gives schools the opportunity to asses the extent to which mental health is being integrated into all areas of the school environment. The check list may also assist schools by shedding some light on practises incorporating mental health that may not have even been considered as relating to mental health. The toolkit gives examples of how mental health can be addressed in each of the 4 pillars for comprehensive school health: social and physical environments; teaching and learning; partnerships and services; and healthy public policy. Schools are encouraged to use resources such as this toolkit to see whether they are promoting positive mental health to the best of their ability.
