Partnerships are essential for helping students achieve at their maximum potential and while parent and community involvement has always been a cornerstone of public schools, greater recognition and support of these collaborative efforts is needed.
School-family-community partnerships help to improve academic outcomes.
Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. Mental health is a state of wellbeing where people can meet their learning potential, cope with normal stresses, and are connected to community and their friends
Family-school-community partnerships are a shared responsibility and reciprocal process whereby schools and other community agencies and organizations engage families in meaningful and culturally appropriate ways, and families take initiative to actively support their children’s development and learning.
Schools and community organizations also make efforts to listen to parents, support them, and ensure that they have the tools to be active partners in their children’s school experience.
There is consistency of evidence on the link between school culture and student health. A positive school culture has been associated with positive child and youth development, effective risk prevention and health promotion efforts, with extensive evidence for the impact on student mental health.
For children and adolescents to learn, they need to be well nourished and healthy.
adolescents have a better chance of improving their health and well-being
As well as increasing a person's opportunity and choices in life, promoting mental health and wellbeing as a core role in education helps students
Resilience is the ability to cope and thrive in the face of negative events, challenges or adversity. It is a skill that can be developed
Interventions which focus on socio-cultural elements of school life, and which involve students actively in the process, are increasingly understood to be important for student mental health promotion.
Wellbeing provides life-long advantages in health, work, relationships, and creativity.
When school staff, leaders, teachers and educators are given the resources and tools to promote and model behaviours, values and inclusivity, this improves teacher-student relationships and builds inclusive and safe school communities to support everyone's wellbeing and improved learning outcomes.
Higher-quality teacher-student relationships were associated with happier students and vice versa
For most people, mental health issues emerge when they are young - half of all mental disorders emerge by the time people are 14 years old and three quarters by 25 years old - the same period when most people are in education.
A whole school approach involves everyone (schools leaders, teachers, staff and parents) to embed a safe and inclusive learning culture and environments
