If schools have a support question, then they can contact CalmMind via this website, e-mail or phone to discuss the possibilities. Themes that we have experience with are mental health care prevention programs, psycho-education regarding mental health issues, implementing inclusive education and working according to the Needs Based Approach (Handelingsgericht Werken). The following list shows possible support options for schools:
- Coaching teachers
- Advising management regarding educational innovations
- Workshops for teachers/students
- Implementing prevention programs
We apply the seven Needs Based Approach principles in our work with schools:
- We work goal-directed.
- We work with a transactional model, focusing on the interaction between individuals.
- The educational needs of the student are central.
- Teachers and parents are essential in achieving educational goals.
- We focus on the protective factors of the student, school and parents.
- We work in a collaborative partnership with teachers, students and parents.
- We follow a systematic and transparent stage-like process.
