A Teacher in the USA has come up with a fantastic way of enabling her students to ‘reach out’ if they feel like they need someone to talk to.

The ‘Check-In Monday’ board enables students to write their name onto the back of a sticky note and place the note onto a white board.

Students have the option of choosing:

I’m great, I’m okay, I’m meh, I’m struggling, I’m having a tough time & wouldn’t mind a check-in or ‘I’m not doing great’.

The details of the idea were shared by a Facebook page called: ‘Suicide Awareness / Prevention‘ in a post that said:

‘Wow. This teacher has her students write their name on [the] back of a sticky note and place it on the chart each Monday.

‘She then talks privately throughout the week with each child about where they placed the sticky note and if they need to talk.

‘A weekly check-in on her students. Maybe we could pass this along to teachers’.

The board means that students can reach out for help when they need it, with a teacher approaching the student rather than the student having to approach their teacher.

At a time when speaking about mental health and wellbeing is being encouraged, then this fantastic idea could enable teachers to give their students who might not be initially willing to approach them, a means of letting their teachers know that they might be in need of some support.

The post on social media attracted a huge amount of support, and has been shared nearly 90,000 times.

Erin Castillo, who originally conceived of the idea, also commented on the post and said:

‘I am the original creator of this. I have a free resource available that is linked to my Instagram. It comes with talking points and printable poster that teachers can use! Thank you for sharing!’

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
