Lesson Package | Loneliness: Finding Our Connections to Feel Less Lonely
It's important to support young people in recognising when they feel lonely, understanding their thoughts and feelings, and identifying their supportive connections.
This school pack provide the materials and resources needed to support pupils to understand:
- what loneliness is and how it can make us feel,
- what we can do to reduce feelings of loneliness; and
- where to find support.
The resources in this pack were developed with pupils and staff who participated in our Peer Education Project (PEP). PEP is a mental health, school-based project that aims to improve the mental health literacy of pupils. The project is freely available to any UK and international school.
The pack is designed to be used in secondary schools, but it also has lots of useful information for primary schools.
The pack includes:
- A lesson plan with PowerPoint slides and worksheets, that support pupils to explore the topic of loneliness in more depth.
- An assembly plan with PowerPoint slides and posters to support the development of a whole-school approach to reducing feelings of loneliness.
- Helpful guides for pupils, school staff, and caregivers on supporting ourselves and others with feelings of loneliness.
