Angel Wings – exploring issues of mental health

Artlink Edinburgh has a new publication and accompanying teaching materials designed to support teachers of P4 to S3, available via the national Health and Wellbeing Glow group.

Angel Wings is an engaging story, which explores issues of mental health through the eyes of a young boy [Matthew]. It explores the warm and positive relationship with his mother and close family, the way that he understands mental ill health and how he experiences the issues that arise out of his mother’s episodes of mental ill health. The story is beautifully crafted by Anne Donovan after she worked with parents and carers to inform the story. It is real life in the form of fiction. Visit the Mental, Emotional, Social and Physical Wellbeing Glow group to download the publication and accompanying teaching materials.
