A web-based app has been created by an academic at Royal Holloway, University of London, for teachers to use to help identify and support students with mental health difficulties.
MindAid was created by Dr Helen Pote, from the university’s Clinical Psychology Department, and acts as a mental health first aid training tool. It is to be trialled by more than 250 teachers this term. The app supports teachers in recognising common mental health difficulties in young people and provides evidence-based resources to support students and direct them to appropriate help. It can be used by school staff before, during or after a consultation with a young person.
