Children’s Mental Health Week: STEER shares what’s working in national schools to support student mental health

During children’s mental health this week, schools desperately want to know what they can do to support their children’s mental health. We are delighted to release the findings of what is working across schools from our latest national AS Tracking data.

Looking at 10,000 students, the data up to the end of December provides the clearest picture of how the pandemic has, and is continuing, to impact the mental health of the UK’s students. Report highlights include that mental health recovery for boys and girls is following different paths, and shows evidence of some practices which may be working more effectively in schools to support student mental health.
