Project description:
Research shows that pupils with several behavioral disorders and mental ilness are the most demanding group of pupils for teachers to educate. Teachers feel the lack of competencies in supporting these pupils and declare the need for further education and methodological guidance.
Research also says that teaching socio-emotional learning, together with increasing mental health literacy, can provide pupils with the skills and knowledge to fulfill their potential and the right to a satisfying and quality life. The risk of developing mental problems is been reduced as well.
In the project, education to 80 pedagogical staff of schools and school counseling facilities in region Hradec Králové through an education, which will focus on increasing knowledge and competencies in the field of mental health will be provided. The project will involve 25 schools, in which methodological support to teachers through education, case seminars and supervision will be also provided. For direct work with children, 2 methodologies of psychoeducational education and a training program to increase mental health support will be developed and attended by 2000 participants either in school teaching or in leisure activities.
At the end of the project a regional conference entitled Possibilities of mental health development in education will be organized and the outputs of the project and examples of good practice will be presented there.
