Teachers On track to TEach Marginalized Students

<< Objectives >>The main objective is to improve students' mental health and doing so by giving the teachers tools on how to recognize students, affected by mental health issues, and how to work with them. Our experience proves what some research has shown: on one hand that mental health issues are more common in disadvantaged students, but on the other hand that teachers often feel distress because they lack knowledge, experience and tools to tackle the issues of mental health in the classroom.<< Implementation >>Workshops for teachers/school staff, Exchange of good practices in the field of mental health, Implementing psychoeducation of students in our schools, Regular online meetings between participating schools, Online and physical event, open to the wider community in each country, Role play for students on the theme of prejudice, Discussions with students and teachers, Workshop ‘First psychosocial help’, Activities in the format of a ‘Live book’, Writing a manual and teaching instructions.<< Results >>The estimation of the situation in our schools and countries regarding the attitudes toward mental health and marginalized groups and an overview of the programs addressing this topic in every country; a manual and teaching materials on how to approach students who have recognized difficulties with inclusion and those with mental health issues; empowering the population of students and teachers by psycho-education; dissemination of the findings with the wider public and organizations.
