Our new PowerPoint lessons for key stages 1 to 4 have been created in line with our updated teacher guidance on teaching about mental health and emotional wellbeing, and in time for schools to plan for new statutory PSHE requirements regarding Health Education, Relationships Education and RSE.

The lessons and guidance will enable schools to cover relevant content from the government’s statutory Health Education, Relationships Education and RSE guidance. These PowerPoints versions are available exclusively to PSHE Association members, complete with:

• Teacher-only slides with clear guidance notes to support you through lesson delivery
• Student-facing slides to support engaging lessons
• A range of activities to deliver during lessons

Lessons in key stage 1 and 2 include teaching about:

• Identifying and talking about feelings
• Understanding how feelings affect behaviours
• Strategies to manage feelings
• The link between mental and physical health
• Managing the transition to secondary school / key stage 3

Lessons in key stage 3 and 4 include teaching about:

• Challenging stigma related to mental health
• Promoting emotional wellbeing and healthy coping strategies
• Developing ‘digital resilience’ in the context of online pressures
• Reframing negative thinking
• Awareness of unhealthy coping strategies such as self-harm and eating disorders
