A charity supported by the Duchess of Cambridge is to run workshops in Jewish schools to help them tackle mental health issues among pupils.
Place2Be has been chosen by the Partnerships for Jewish Schools (Pajes) to organise training programmes for teachers.
According to research done by Pajes, schools reported increasingly having to tackle a variety of issues affecting student wellbeing, including depression, anxiety and concerns around self-esteem.
Rabbi David Meyer, Pajes executive director, said “Our students are at the forefront of all our activity and we need to take every step necessary to ensure that their educational environment is one that can provide the required support that every student in every facet of their daily school life requires.”
