3 What is mental health and why does it matter? We are all mental beings in the same way we are all physical beings, our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Mental health is defined as A state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. World Health Organisation (2004)
4 What is a mental health difficulty? Mental health problems range from the worries we all experience as part of everyday life to serious long-term conditions. The majority of people who experience mental health problems can get over them or learn to live with them, especially if they get help early on. Mental Health Foundation (2014)
5 Statistics 1 in 4 people will experience mental health difficulties at some point in their lives (Mental Health Foundation 2014). 1 in 10 children will experience mental health problems (Mental Health Foundation 2014) % of year olds have self harmed (The Princes Trust 2010). The UK has one of the highest rates of self-harm in Europe at 400 per 100,000 (Mental Health Foundation 2014). The two health issues currently using most health resources are heart problems and mental health. Numbers are still increasing (Mental Health Foundation 2014)

8 Help and Support Young people are very vulnerable at this stage in their lives there are many changes taking place. It is our job, as NCS staff to support them, listen to their concerns, open up group discussion in reflection sessions (protecting anonymity) to show that they are not alone and help them realise their potential. If, at any stage, you feel unsure or believe there might be a safeguarding or mental health concern affecting a team member, talk to your wave leader or welfare officer.

Cliffe & Thorne-Stewart (December 2015) Boingboing working definition (December 2013)
10 Current research into resilience states a need for core needs to be addressed. Resilience in practice NCS activities provide the ideal opportunity to enable participants to achieve good outcomes against all odds and thus increase their chances of maintaining good mental health
11 Core Needs The Resilience Framework Basics Belonging Learning Coping Core Self
12 Basics and Belonging Basics NCS should provide a safe environment, access & transport, food, exercise and fresh air, enough sleep, play and leisure, freedom from prejudice/ discrimination Belonging NCS teamwork gives young people a sense of belonging, an opportunity to tap into good influences, make friends and maintain relationships, access to support networks, and a set of responsibilities and obligations
13 Learning and Coping Learning we should make NCS life work as well as possible by mentoring, discussing career or life plans, helping to develop self organisation, highlighting achievements and developing life skills Coping young people on NCS should understand boundaries and keep them, have opportunities to be brave, solve problems, identify the positives in situations, calm and sooth themselves and others, lean on others, have a laugh and remember that tomorrow is another day
14 Core Self Core self instilling a sense of hope, understanding other people s feelings, knowing yourself, fostering your talents
