Description
Developed by NESET, the framework emphasizes that mental health and wellbeing are shaped by the entire school environment, including leadership, curriculum, staff wellbeing, student participation, family engagement, and links with external services. It promotes prevention, early identification, and inclusive practices rather than isolated interventions. Mental health is treated as a shared responsibility across the whole education system.
