Responding to the rise in challenges to the mental health of young people, this book provides schoolteachers with the essential skills required to recognise emotional distress in their students, and more importantly, empowers them to make a genuine difference.

Teachers have unintentionally become the 'first responders' for distressed youth in their schools, but they cannot be expected to carry out mental health interventions. This book provides teachers with essential mental health literacy and knowledge of mental health first aid so that they know how to act when their students need help. The chapters provide concise and jargon-free outlines of the main mental disorders that teachers can expect to encounter in their classrooms and offer practical guidance on how to speak to these students and help them towards the most suitable support in the community. Drawing on the best available research and offering illustrative case studies to support core skills, this book gives teachers the confidence and competence to take action.
