Wellbeing measurement framework for schools | Anna Freud
The Wellbeing Measurement Framework (WMF) is a suite of measurement booklets for primary school, secondary school and college students.
Students’ responses to the questionnaires provide a snapshot of the strengths and challenges students are facing, which can be used to target support, help schools to evaluate their interventions and send a positive message to parents and carers that the school is focused on students’ wellbeing.
The validated questionnaires (tailored to each age group) assess positive wellbeing, behavioural or emotional difficulties, the presence and strength of protective factors such as perceived support at school, home and in the community, and ability to deal with stress and manage emotions.

Book Trust
We've put together a selection of picture books that can help young children to start to understand mental health and support a healthy mind. They include titles that touch on sadness, anxiety and finding courage and reassurance, and are books which can help to supply useful strategies and support a growth mindset.
