 SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY
• COMMUNITY SAFETY AND SECURITY, according to
the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), is a
concept that seeks to operationalize human security,
human development and state-building paradigms at the
local level.
• The contemporary concept of community security,
narrowly defined, includes both group and personal
security. The approach focuses on ensuring that
communities and their members are "free from fear".
SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY
• Like community safety and citizen security, it
promotes a multi-stakeholder approach that is
driven by an analysis of local needs.
• By emphasizing the "community" aspect the
concept seeks to embrace both cultures and
contexts that are "individual-oriented", including
many in Latin America, and cultures and contexts
that are "group oriented", as are many in Africa and
South Asia.
BUILDING SAFER COMMUNITIES
• Personal safety is a human right. It is a
necessary condition for human
development, improved quality of life and
enhanced productivity. When communities
do not feel safe and live in fear, the
country’s economic development and the
people’s wellbeing are affected, hindering
their ability to achieve their potential.
BUILDING SAFER COMMUNITIES
• Safety and security are directly related to
social-economic development and equality.
A safe and secure country encourages
economic growth and transformation by
providing an environment conducive to
employment creation, improved education
and health outcomes and strengthened
social cohesion.
 PROMOTING
POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH
IN SCHOOL
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES AFFECTING
YOUNG PEOPLE?
• Exam pressures. The overwhelming pressure and
number of exams can have a significant effect on
students’ mental health. Students are stressed by the
amount of information they need to know and the
pressure to succeed. Most are also fearful that a poor
grade will ruin their future.
• The modern technological world. Young people
now spend much more time indoors online rather
than outside. Furthermore, young people are at a
number of risks online, including exposure to
upsetting content and cyberbullying, that will all affect
their mental health.
SOME OF THE ISSUES AFFECTING YOUNG PEOPLE
• Growing social media. Social media platforms
are evolving and growing in popularity daily.
Sites such as Instagram produce feelings of
inadequacy as teens compare themselves and
their lives to those of their peers. Social media
also leads to reduced communication skills and
reduced human interaction with friends.
• Demands on young people. As well as the
heavy pressure of exams, students often have
further responsibilities that contribute to a
growing amount of stress and worry.
 MENTAL HEALTH AND
WELLBEING
• Mental health is more than the
absence of mental illness. Mental
health is a state of wellbeing where
people can meet their learning
potential, cope with normal
stresses, and are connected to
community and their friends
WHY MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING
IS PROMOTED IN SCHOOLS
• As well as increasing a person's opportunity and
choices in life, promoting mental health and
wellbeing as a core role in education helps
students:
• flourish in their education journey
• build resilience against adversity
• develop protective factors from mental ill-health
• provide them with skills and confidence to self-
seek help for early intervention.
RESILIENCE BUILDING FOR STUDENTS
• Resilience is the ability to cope and thrive in the face of
negative events, challenges or adversity. It is a skill that can be
developed through:
• positive social connections
• safe environments
• life skills such as positive coping and problem solving skills
• pro-social values
• positive self-regard
• and a sense of purpose and agency or responsibility.
