Free mental health resources for your class or school

Use our Mental health-themed activity sheets to encourage positive conversations around mental health in the lead up to Christmas. Combine this with one of our suggested physical activity or art-based challenges which will boost student mental health. To support us, we ask that you send a link to encourage families of your students to donate to our work delivering group and one-to-one support with young people.

Mental wellbeing is a normal part of daily life, in the same way as physical health. The benefits that physical exercise, time outdoors, mindfulness and community participation can have on mental wellbeing and happiness shows no limits.

The Mental Elf School Wellbeing Challenge, launched by East Kent Mind, enables young people to experience the importance of developing resilience and positive mental health through engaging activities and working together to complete a challenge.

• We provide wellbeing themed resources, activity toolkit with leader and group instructions.
• You can join an online briefing session.
• Thank you certificate and gift for being involved.
