Teachers spend a significant amount of time with students and are often the first adults to notice changes in behaviour. According to UNESCO, students spend up to 1,000 hours per year with their teachers, making educators key players in identifying early warning signs of mental health concerns. Research by the World Health Organization (2021) shows that teachers who receive mental health training are better prepared to recognize signs of distress and foster inclusive, supportive classrooms. This makes empowering teachers essential for early detection and timely support. Our MHAC training and workshops are designed to equip teachers with basic mental health literacy, practical tools to identify behavioural and emotional changes in students, and guidance on how to appropriately refer students who may need further support. Through these sessions, teachers also learn techniques for building psychologically safe school environments that promote student wellbeing. The workshops cover topics such as adolescent mental health, emotional first aid, and managing classroom challenges, while also providing materials that educators can continue to use to expand their knowledge and strengthen their capacity to support young people.
