FREE - Primary Assembly Pack: World Mental Health Day 2024 Slideshow
World Mental Health Day is an important day that shines a light on the need for good mental health. To help schools and teachers in spreading this message, we have created a free assembly pack that includes a high-quality slideshow presentation.
This engaging presentation covers essential topics to help students understand the importance of mental health, such as what mental health is, why it is important, and ways to maintain and promote positive mental health. This is an interactive presentation that can be led by the children.
This short assembly is suitable for EYFS to Year 6. It is suitable for whole-school and whole-class assemblies.
Let’s celebrate World Mental Health Day together!
