1 Strengthening mental wellbeing in school communities

2 The Mental Health Foundation: The Mental Health Foundation is working to create a society free from discrimination, where all people enjoy positive mental health and wellbeing. We work to influence individuals, whanau, organisations and communities to improve and sustain their mental health and reach their full potential.

3 Mauri tū, mauri ora Mauri refers to the life force or latent energy found in all things. Mauri tū refers to stability and a sense of space for this energy, and in this context covers both communities and individuals. Mauri ora refers to the unleashing of this energy to actively support and create wellbeing.

4 Mental Health Promotion The process of enhancing the capacity of individuals and communities to take control over their lives and improve their mental health.

5 Mental Health Promotion Mental health promotion uses strategies that foster supportive environments and individual resilience, Mental health promotion shows respect for culture, equity, social justice and personal dignity. (Jobert and Raeburn, 1998)

6 Perth Mental Health Charter The Perth Charter places needed emphasis on the role of health promotion for mental health, taking a step towards the integration of physical and mental health promotion. (

7 What is mental health?

8 Mental health & mental illness: Mental health is often seen as something negative, something to be avoided It is often assumed that if you aren t diagnosed with a mental illness then you must be mentally healthy

9 Discourse: Mental health & physical health (Mahony et al., 2011 p. 52) Health Illness Physical Eating fruit and vegetables Taking regular exercise Strength and flexibility Cancer Obesity Heart disease Mental???? Depression Anxiety Psychosis

10 Mental health The capacity of each and all of us to feel, think and act in ways that enhance our ability to enjoy life and deal with the challenges we face It is a positive sense of emotional and spiritual well-being... (Centre for Health Promotion and Health Promotion Unit, Toronto, 1996)

11 Shift in thinking. (adapted from Keyes)

12 Features of flourishing (Huppert & So, 2009) Core features Additional features Positive emotions Engagement, interest Meaning and purpose Self esteem Optimism Resilience Vitality Self-determination Positive relationships

13 HEI PUĀWAITANGA MŌ TĀTOU KATOA Flourishing for All The MHF is developing an understanding of flourishing (or wellbeing) from a Maori perspective (Blissett 2011). Based on interviews with kaumatua and kuia, a number of differences have been emphasised. the significance of the whenua to flourishing, the need for a positive identity and pride in being Maori, confidently participating in Te Ao Maori including linking to the marae and actively participating in the activities of the hou kainga.

14 HEI PUĀWAITANGA MŌ TĀTOU KATOA Flourishing for All The importance of flourishing as a collective concept: if one of the whanau was not flourishing, then the whanau as a collective was not whole and could not see itself as flourishing. Compared with the wellbeing outcomes of Whanau Ora, the outcome of being economically secure and successfully involved in wealth creation was not expressed as overly significant (Blissett 2011).

15 Research in support of Flourishing Flourishing people live longer, healthier lives, are more at peace with others and are more productive than those who are not flourishing (UK Treasury)

16 Research in support of Flourishing Flourishing individuals have: fewer missed days of work healthier psychosocial functioning lower risk of cardiovascular disease lower number of chronic physical diseases fewer limitations during daily activities lower health care utilisation Keyes, 2007.

18 Five ways to wellbeing

19 Give Your time Your words Your presence

20 Keep learning Try something new. Learn to play an instrument or how to cook your favourite food. Set a challenge you will enjoy achieving.

21 Connect With the people around you. Think of these as the cornerstones of your life and invest time in developing them. Building these connections will support and enrich you every day.

22 Be Active Go for a walk or run. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good. Discover a physical activity you enjoy.

23 Take notice Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful. Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing seasons. Savour the moment. Be aware of the world around you and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your experiences will help you appreciate what matters to you.
