In the final episode of the ReSET Podcast, host André Tomlin from the Mental Elf explores the importance of mental health prevention in schools, featuring insights from Professor Peter Fonagy, Professor Essi Viding, Professor Jess Deighton, and Dr Ros Law.

This episode emphasises the necessity of prevention over treatment, as optimal treatments can only reduce depression by a third. Key points include the challenge schools face in implementing prevention strategies amidst numerous demands, the long-term benefits of prevention, and the need for sustainable, evidence-based approaches.

The episode concludes with actionable advice for schools to cut through ineffective interventions and focus on proven methods.

Join us to learn why prevention is not just a luxury, but an essential part of creating a conducive learning environment.
