“Students with good mental health and wellbeing are clearly better equipped to cope with the everyday demands of school life. On the other hand, learning is inhibited for those students with poor mental health and wellbeing.”

Sawyer, 2000

WHY WOULD YOU WANT A WELLBEING PROGRAM?

Two good reasons that wellbeing should be taught in schools are the current flood of depression and the nominal increase in happiness over the last two generations.

  1. The prevalence of depression among young people is shockingly high worldwide. By some estimates, depression is about ten times more common now than it was fifty years ago. Fifty years ago, the average age of first onset was about thirty. Now the first onset is below age fifteen. Depression now ravages teenagers.
  2. Average national happiness studies—which has been measured competently for a half century show the average American, Japanese, and Australian is no more satisfied with life than fifty years ago. (Seligman, 2002)

WHAT IS POSITIVE EDUCATION?

“Positive education is defined as education for both traditional skills and for happiness. The high prevalence worldwide of depression among young people, the small rise in life satisfaction, and the synergy between learning and positive emotion all argue that the skills for happiness should be taught in school. There is substantial evidence from well controlled studies that skills that increase resilience, positive emotion, engagement and meaning can be taught to school children.”

From Positive education: Positive psychology and classroom interventions by Martin E.P. Seligman, Randal M. Ernst, Jane Gillham, Karen Reivich, and Mark Linkin

Current research shows a strong correlation between social and emotional learning and strong academic performance, lower absenteeism, higher degree of self-control and open-minded, creative thinking.

Evidence is strong for schools to embed formal lessons on:

  • character traits such as persistence, resilience, grit, optimism, gratitude, honesty, kindness loyalty
  • fixed versus growth mindset,
  • habits
  • relationships
