Learning and Teaching Expo 2019 學與教博覽2019

Recent evidence in the United Kingdom indicates a rise in mental health problems in children and young people in the last 10 years, with current estimates of 1 in 8 experiencing some kind of mental disorder. Alongside this increase, prevention and early intervention has become an increasing policy priority, with schools as a particular focus for support. This talk describes the current approaches and emerging evidence from two large scale national studies ongoing in the UK: Education for Wellbeing: a large scale randomised control trial of school based mental health interventions; and HeadStart: a complex area-based programme to foster resilience, improve positive wellbeing and prevent mental health problems. Learning to date from these two programme will be shared and implications for school based practice will be discussed.

最近英國研究顯示，兒童及青少年的心理健康問題在過去十年日益嚴重，現時約每八個人就有一人患有精神障礙。因此，預防和早期介入心理健康問題的政策也日益重要，而對學校提供支援更是政策的重點。是次演講，講者將介紹英國現時的政策方向，以及正進行的兩項大型全國研究項目當中的新發現及成果，並探討其對校本實踐的啟示。兩大項目包括：「Education for Wellbeing」，一個針對校本心理健康治療與輔導的大型試驗計劃；以及「優先起步」計劃（HeadStart programme），一個以地區為基礎的綜合性項目，旨在提升兒童及青少年抗逆能力，加強幸福感和預防心理健康問題。
