Usability study finds the online resource improves mental health support in primary schools, suggesting effective interventions for teachers.
The health and wellbeing of primary school children are critical to their development and academic success, yet many teachers lack the resources and training needed to address behavioural and mental health challenges effectively. This study introduces the "Teacher's Guide," an online resource developed to empower teachers with evidence-based strategies for supporting student wellbeing. The guide was evaluated through a usability study involving 142 participants, including primary school teachers and administrative staff. Results highlighted high satisfaction with its accessibility, organization, and practicality, with participants appreciating its user-friendly design and the ability to readily access interventions. The findings suggest that the "Teacher's Guide" can serve as a valuable tool in supporting school-based mental health interventions, equipping teachers to create nurturing environments that enhance both academic and emotional outcomes for students.
