Rather than solely targeting individual psychological processes and behaviours, school-based programmes to improve #MentalHealth might need to address structural aspects of the #education system

This means:
💙 adopting a whole-school approach.
💙 giving young people a meaningful say in service design.
💙 acting on what the science and data say.

I'm sharing this paper from my PhD (published last year) because apparently only 10 people read it 🥲 I will say it's because I forgot to share it (I think)... Something for the place and health/greenspace crowd!
