• Know some ways of dealing with stress and how people can get help and support.
• Understand that anyone can be affected by mental ill health.

• Know some everyday ways of looking after mental health.

Mindmate: Being the same and being different.

Children can recognise how images and campaigns in the media and social media do not always reflect reality and can affect how people feel about themselves e.g. body image.

Children can share their opinions on things that matter to them and explain their views through discussions with one other person and the whole class.
