Schools have a vital role to play in supporting children’s emotional wellbeing and mental health, teaching them the skills they need to recognise and deal with their emotions.

“We believe that many mental health problems are preventable, but for prevention to work for children, changes need to take place in our schools, from primary level upwards.”

“If we are not tackling mental health problems early, then we risk failing the next generation right at the start of their lives.”

Dr Antonis Kousoulis, Associate Director at the Mental Health Foundation

We know how important the wellbeing of children and young people is to teachers and school staff but they are under pressure and can’t always be expected to be mental health experts. Schools are working hard to address children’s mental health and support their emotional wellbeing but it can be a challenge. They need practical, easy-to-access support that really works for the young children they teach, which is why we have developed DiaryZapp for Schools.

Using DiaryZapp for Schools in your classroom can help children to develop positive emotional wellbeing habits by encouraging them to make sense of what is going on around them. 

• Encouraging children to express their emotions
• Providing positive daily messages which boost wellbeing
• Helping children establish healthy routines by rewarding consistency 

DiaryZapp for Schools provides a creative safe space for children, where there are no wrong answers, allowing them to reflect on their day and process their emotions.
