Every classroom is different, and so is every child. This series of short films gives teachers clear, evidence-based guidance on supporting pupils who may be living with a mental health condition or neurodevelopmental difference — from anxiety and ADHD to eating disorders and grief. Each film focuses on what to look out for, how to respond sensitively, and what practical steps you can take to help a child feel safe and understood at school.
