If you are a teacher, educational therapist, or school-based professional, this infographic from Therapy Source, Inc. shares multiple ways to support students’ mental health in school.

1. How Educators Can
Support Students’
Mental Health
in School
Encourage students to
practice healthy habits
and self-care.
Connect mental
health and feelings to
topics that are taught
in the curriculum
and/or everyday
conversations at
school.
Create mental health
resources (posters, booklets,
brochures, etc.) that can be
distributed to students,
posted around the school,
and shared with parents.
Provide praise and
encouragement to students
speaking openly about their
emotions.
Check in with
students
regularly to
determine how
they are feeling.
Engage in coping skills
that can be taught to
children, such as deep
breathing exercises,
mindfulness, relaxation
techniques, and yoga.
Organize support
groups so students
can develop lasting,
meaningful
connections with
their peers.
Mental
Health
Encourage students to
support their classmates
and act as peer mentors to
one other.
Create a safe,
non-judgmental space where
students can be vulnerable
and speak openly.
