The Emotional Curriculum
S06 E02- Teacher's Perceptions of Young People's Mental Health in Schools
Show Notes

In this episode we speak with Dr Emily Hattersley, Educational Psychologist, about teacher's views on young people's mental health in schools.
We explore how teacher's try to understand the needs of those they work with and how their insights and thoughtfulness show the level of care, and desire to help, behind the profession.  However, we also discuss the difficulties in meeting needs whilst adhering to the demands of the curriculum, and how this takes its toll on the teacher's own wellbeing, ultimately leading to a need for more supervision and support.
