Let's be Real - Mental Health for Young Minds

Student wellbeing programme

A year-long, classroom-ready wellbeing programme that teaches young people to name what they feel, notice it in a friend, and know where help lives.

This is our Mental Health Literacy curriculum, delivered as a student wellbeing programme. It works alongside staff training and parent workshops so the whole school community shares one language.

What students learn

  • Emotional literacy: naming feelings precisely enough to talk about them
  • Resilience and coping strategies that hold under pressure
  • Healthy relationships and boundaries
  • Digital wellbeing and comparison online
  • Belonging, identity and difference, including neurodivergence
  • Help-seeking: who to tell, and what happens next

How it is delivered

Six modules across the school year, delivered by us or co-delivered with your pastoral team. Sessions are age-banded for lower and upper secondary and available in English and German.

Why literacy first

Students who can name distress ask for help earlier. Mental health literacy and destigmatisation are two sides of the same coin: knowing the signs, and feeling able to speak.

What schools see

  • Earlier, less dramatic disclosures
  • Peer support that points towards adults rather than away from them
  • Shared vocabulary between students, staff and parents
  • Pastoral time spent earlier in the arc, not only in crisis

No. It usually slots into existing pastoral or PSHE time and complements what you already run.
Which year groups?
Secondary, with separate age-banded versions for lower and upper secondary.
