This booklet aims to provide a resource for school staff interested in developing sustainable in-school support for pupils with mental health problems, in particular depression. It sets out the policy context, the research field concerning school-based approaches, and practice learning or local context. It draws on the experience of a range of schools which worked with the authors in considering how they had developed ways of supporting the mental health and well-being of their pupils. It includes a summary of current government policy as it relates to schools, an overview of the different mental health disorders that can affect children and young people, a review of some key research findings about what works in school-based approaches, and looks at what leadership and the local context might encompass in schools, including managing multi-agency working to promote the mental health and emotional well-being of pupils. It provides information about some of the local planning and commissioning structures that schools can use in developing services for their pupils, and describes outcomes monitoring tools and information about resources about mental health available on the internet.
