Essentials of a Class Promoting positive mental health
4 Common Principles or Values about Positive Mental Health
Children and youth have inner
1 strengths and gifts that support their

capacity to initiate, direct, and
sustain positive life directions.
(Hamilton & Hamilton, 2004; Losier and Morrison, 2007).

Child and youth engagement and
2 empowerment are critical

considerations for facilitating positive
development or change.
(CSPH, 2002; Deci & Ryan, 2007).

Children’s and youths’ social contexts
3
and networks provide important
resources and influences that have the
capacity to contribute to and enhance
their psychological well-being
(Losier & Morrison, 2007; Sheridan, Warnes, Cowan, Schemm & Clarke, 2004).


Children’s and youths’ relationships with
adults and peers that contribute to
4 psychological well-being are characterized by

interactions that convey genuineness,
empathy, unconditional caring and
affirmation
(Brendtro, 2003).

ACHIEVEMENT

POSITIVE EMOTIONS
It is not just the maximisation of
pleasure but also includes
contentment, ecstasy, joy, reverence,
gratitude, awe and other desirable
emotions.

ENGAGEMENT
best defined as being highly engaged
or absorbed in an activity or past-
time. This can be anything from
hobbies to solving math problems

RELATIONSHIPS
most learning occurs within the
context of a relationship. The better
the student -teacher relationship the
better the learning outcomes.

MEANING
this is about having some sense of
broader understanding or higher
purpose. This can be not just about our
schooling but about our lives more
generally.

ACHIEVEMENT
In general when we talk about
academic grades we speak of it
interchangeably with IQ . But
achievement is a product of IQ and self
discipline.

The European Union Dataprev project reviewed work on

mental health in four areas, parenting, schools, the
workplace and older people. The schools work package
carried out a systematic review of reviews of work on
mental health in schools from which it identified
evidence-based interventions and programmes and
extracted the general principles from evidence-based
work.
A systematic search of the literature uncovered 52

systematic reviews and meta-analyses of mental
health in schools. The interventions identified by
the reviews had a wide range of beneficial effects
on children, families and communities and on a
range of mental health, social, emotional and
educational outcomes.
Salient Findings of the Review

Fifty of the 52 reviews came to a positive assessment of the
evidence they reviewed, concluding that one or more of the
interventions had at least small effects and/or were in some way
‘effective’. The remaining two reviews were inconclusive rather
than negative, and cited methodological weaknesses as the
reason why they could not come to firm conclusions. (Park-
Higgerson et al., 2008*** on violence prevention interventions
andSchachter et al., 2008* on mental health stigma
interventions.)

Interventions reviewed had wide-ranging
beneficial effects on individual children and
young people, on classrooms, families and
communities and on an array of mental health,
social, emotional and educational outcomes.
