Get older children thinking about ways we can normalise mental health and give it the same prevalence as physical health.

We are living in a time where mental health is more accepted than ever – but we still face stigma when it comes to things like talking openly about suicide, mental illness and medication. How can we normalise conversations about mental health in every day life?

Class activity: This is a great class activity to do during Mental Health Awareness Week! You could split your class into separate groups and give each group a topic to write about – such as suicide, social media, the media and in every day life.
