Mental Health Awareness Sessions for Schools
Building Understanding, Skills, and Support Across School Communities
At Positive Wellbeing Limited, we provide expertly developed mental health awareness sessions tailored for school staff. These short, focused sessions are designed to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and offer practical tools to support the emotional wellbeing of students and school teams.
Unlike formal qualifications such as Mental Health First Aid, these sessions serve as introductory and supportive learning experiences, offering flexible durations of 1 to 3 hours. They are ideal for professional development days, wellbeing initiatives, or as part of a broader staff training programme.
Awareness Topics for Primary School Staff
Our sessions for primary educators and staff address key mental health topics relevant to younger learners and early adolescent development:
- Introduction to Mental Health Awareness
- Understanding Anxiety in Children Under 12
- Recognising and Responding to Self-Injury in Younger Students
- Autism Spectrum Conditions and Emotional Wellbeing
- Practical Counselling Skills for Upper Primary Teachers
These sessions support staff in creating safe, empathetic learning environments while strengthening early intervention practices.
Awareness Topics for Secondary School Staff
For secondary school staff, sessions are tailored to address more complex emotional health challenges and adolescent concerns:
- Mental Health Awareness in Adolescents
- Identifying and Supporting Anxiety and Depression
- Understanding the Impact of Stress on Teenagers
- Recognising and Responding to Eating Difficulties
- Practical Counselling Skills for Pastoral and Guidance Staff
- Advanced Counselling Skills and Communication Strategies
- Navigating Difficult Conversations with Empathy and Clarity
- Understanding Self-Injury: A Professional Approach
- Supporting Students with Autism and Mental Health Needs
These sessions empower school teams to respond to student needs with confidence, sensitivity, and informed care.
Flexible, Evidence-Informed Learning
Each session is grounded in evidence-based frameworks and led by experienced facilitators with a strong understanding of local school contexts in Hong Kong and across the region. Sessions can be delivered online or in person, and adapted for different school roles and team sizes.
Supporting a Culture of Awareness and Compassion
By participating in these sessions, your school takes a meaningful step toward creating a more mentally healthy environment—one where students and staff alike feel seen, heard, and supported.
