Supporting Young Minds: Mental Health Workshops in Schools

19/05/2025

Did you know that headspace Edinburgh North offers free mental health workshops to secondary schools across the region? It’s just one of the ways we’re supporting young people to build mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and feel more confident reaching out for support.

Last Monday, our team had the pleasure of visiting Year 10 students at Salisbury High School to run an interactive session covering:

How to access headspace and what to expect at our centre
Tips for maintaining a healthy headspace
Mental health myth-busting
How to support a friend doing it tough
Where to go for extra help and resources

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with students, share practical tools, and open up important conversations about mental health and wellbeing.

We’re always keen to partner with local schools and youth organisations. If you’re interested in booking a free workshop for your school, community group, or event, reach out to us - we’d love to hear from you!
