The Toolkit/Guide ‘A Hopeful, Healthy and Happy Living and Learning’ was presented in the context of a webinar on 17 June developed as part of the EU funded MENTALITY project piloting established and promising mental health practices with a focus on education in Europe.
Mental health and psychosocial support are crucial for children's learning but are often overlooked. The guide outlines relevant tools, practices and strategies for caregivers, teachers and educators working in diverse cultural settings across Europe to empower children and help them manage their mental health and promote their wellbeing.”

The toolkit was originally developed by the IFRC Psychological Centre together with REPSSI and APSSI, with support from MHPSS.net and funding from Education Cannot Wait. The Toolkit presents a series of tools designed to facilitate support for children, parents/caregivers and teachers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but may be useful for anyone, anywhere, and at any time.
