These moments capture the heart of our workshop on developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for handling mental health issues among adolescents.
Through case-based discussions, group work, and guided reflection, teachers and counsellors strengthened their capacity to:
-
recognise early signs of mental health concerns
-
respond appropriately to varying levels of risk
-
communicate effectively with students and parents
-
apply clear referral pathways and safety procedures
The workshop emphasised practical decision-making, shared responsibility, and the importance of having structured, school-based SOPs to ensure timely, consistent, and safe responses for students.
Building confident professionals with clear protocols is a key step in safeguarding adolescent mental health.
