Bethlem Royal Hospital
Activities and Lesson Plans

This resource has been developed to allow teachers and students to explore some of the issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing.  This might be appropriate in a range of lessons from Citizenship to English.

The activities below are suggestions of ways in which the material could be used.  Teachers – and students – will also have their own ideas.  We would also be interested in hearing about them and sharing good practice.

This painting was produced by a patient in the 1950s.  He has attempted to show us, quite literally, what is inside his head.  Scroll over the image to read his descriptions of each of the sections.
