Discovery Education is observing Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 (12th – 18th May) by providing UK schools with a new collection of digital resources supporting pupils’ mental health and wellbeing.
Available via Discovery Education’s award-winning digital learning services Espresso and Health and Relationships, the new content collection gives primary schools high-quality digital resources to engage young people during Mental Health Awareness Week and beyond.
Mental Health Awareness week is an annual event that focuses on helping people to live healthier lives and this year’s theme is ‘Community’. The Discovery Education resources will help teachers to bring this idea to life while supporting pupil wellbeing.
Mapped to the National Curriculum, the new content collection has been especially curated to support the teaching of subjects such as RSHE, across every Key Stage.
The Discovery Education resources include:
- Mental Health Awareness Week Mini Lessons – available in Espresso Calendar Picks, these lessons will help teachers and pupils observe the event while exploring the idea of community and why it’s important to spend time with others
- Everyday Speech – ready-to-use Espresso classroom resources covering personal, social and emotional topics
- Health and Relationships – a complete suite of resources to help teachers deliver the primary RSHE curriculum. Health and Relationships explores children’s mental health through several different topics, including Coping with Change, Happy Friendships and Healthy Bodies, and Healthy Minds
- Sandbox AR – Discovery Education’s BETT Award-winning Augmented Reality app features an immersive experience in which pupils can create a virtual world in which to explore and meditate
Lizzy Lambley, Discovery Education’s UK Head of Production said:
“Discovery Education is proud to support Mental Health Awareness Week. Our new collection of digital resources will help teachers to observe this important event and meet National Curriculum objectives while encouraging pupils to explore the topic of mental wellbeing in an enjoyable and accessible way.”
Discovery Education’s Mental Health Awareness Week resources are available to subscriber schools via Espresso and Health and Relationships. Discovery Education’s Sandbox AR app is freely available to download via the Apple App Store and Google Play.
