MELVA: High Spen Primary School

For academic year 2024/25, over 100 primary schools and just under 15,000 children across the North of England are using our mental health education through storytelling intervention MELVA.

High Spen Primary School in Gateshead is one such school! This short video captures their experience using MELVA across two years and the impact it’s had on their young people.

MELVA is a proven, fun, and impactful way for teachers to work with whole classes, addressing wellbeing issues before children reach crisis point, reducing referrals to over-stretched statutory services.

MELVA is available to Primary Schools and Trusts everywhere.
