As the calendar turns to a fresh new year, it’s a natural time for reflection and goal-setting. For schools, the new term offers a chance to renew commitments to the wellbeing of students and staff. At The Wellbeing Crew, we believe the start of the year is the perfect time to refocus on mental health and create supportive, thriving educational environments.

Why Mental Health in Schools Matters

Research shows that mental health significantly impacts a student’s ability to learn, engage, and succeed. With one in six young people experiencing mental health challenges, schools play a crucial role in providing early intervention and building resilience. When mental health is prioritized, the entire school community benefits from improved academic outcomes, better relationships, and enhanced overall wellbeing.

Setting Intentions for Mental Wellbeing in 2025

The new year is synonymous with resolutions, but instead of focusing on fleeting goals, let’s set intentions that create lasting change. Here are some ways schools can make mental health a priority in 2025:

  1. Cultivate a Culture of Wellbeing: Develop an environment where it’s safe to talk about mental health. Encourage open conversations, train staff to recognize signs of distress, and celebrate efforts to support mental health.
  2. Incorporate Mindfulness Practices: Introducing mindfulness sessions in the classroom can help students manage stress and improve focus. Simple practices like guided breathing exercises can make a significant difference.
  3. Empower School Staff: Teachers and support staff often carry the weight of ensuring students’ wellbeing. Provide them with resources, training, and opportunities for self-care to ensure they can support others effectively.
  4. Collaborate with Mental Health Experts: Partnering with organizations like The Wellbeing Crew gives schools access to tailored workshops, one-on-one support, and strategies for addressing specific challenges in your school community.
