Mental Health education
in Schools
project day implementation 

It emerges from the interviews that mental health and mental illnesses are hardly ever dealt with in the classroom. At the same time, these topics are rarely addressed at home. The fact that early signs are not recognized, helplessness prevails or symptoms are kept secret seems to be a natural consequence. In Germany, there are only a few campaigns that try to provide preventive education in this area at school. Why are there "Don't Smoke" project days, but one of the most common causes of death among young people receives no attention at all? 

 

In the future, there should be 1-2 school days that allow space to talk about mental illness and clarify unanswered questions. Completely without taboo!  

 

I have already collected a few rough points for the course of the project:

 

• Funding [current phase]

• Acquisition of project partners

• Target groups and needs assessment

• Development of teaching and learning materials

• Testing of the project days in schools

• Evaluation

• Adaptation to other countries

• Dissemination of the concept in different languages

​

Like almost everything in life, the development of a concept and the following testing costs money. Especially for travel expenses, printing costs and workload, a lot of donations are needed. If you want to support me, please click on the donate button.
