Mental, Emotional, Social and Physical Wellbeing (MESP)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In Scottish education, the MESP organiser is used as a guide for curriculum planning, teaching practices, and the overall wellbeing support systems in schools. It acknowledges the multidimensional nature of a child’s development and aims to provide a balanced and comprehensive educational experience that addresses their mental, emotional, social, and physical needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The MESP organiser is designed to provide a structure for practitioners to promote positive wellbeing and support the needs of students across these four key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Mental wellbeing<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mental wellbeing<\/span> <\/span><\/b>refers to the health of the mind, the way we think, perceive, reflect on and make sense of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Social wellbeing<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Social wellbeing<\/span> <\/span><\/b>refers to being and feeling secure in <\/span>relationships with family, friends and community, having a <\/span>sense of belonging and recognising and understanding our <\/span>contribution in society.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Emotional wellbeing<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emotional wellbeing<\/span> <\/span><\/b>refers to recognising, understanding and effectively managing our feelings and emotions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Physical wellbeing<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Physical wellbeing<\/span> <\/span><\/b>refers to the knowledge, skills and attitudes that we need to understand how physical factors affect our health.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
