“…However, even when new texts are introduced, new writing and formats are rarely included (Jogie, 2015a(Jogie, , 2015b(Jogie, , 2017Teese, 2013). If teachers have been designated as primarily responsible for text selection (Hateley, 2014), they need support from teacher-librarians to suggest and source well-written, contemporary young adult literature dealing with the issues around mental health as texts for the classroom. This research showed that external factors such as the English teacher's attitude and task design, home environment, parental attitude and promotional material often influence responses to a narrative.…”

The school environment can be challenging for young people experiencing mental health concerns to express their individuality and feel accepted. There has been an increased focus on wellbeing in school-aged children, with programs targeted to building resilience and promoting inclusion. However, peer stigmatization lowers personal wellbeing by limiting social belongingness in young people with mental health concerns and this is often exacerbated by poor mental health literacy. This paper is based on a doctoral study that used a grounded theory methodology to explore adolescent responses to a novel featuring mental health concerns as a class text. This research showed that students prefer contemporary young adult novels in the English classroom to support mental health literacy due to its contemporaneity and relatability. This paper links these benefits with the role of teacher librarians in recommending young adult literature featuring mental health concerns for use in the English curriculum.

Increased mental health literacy in adolescents is critical, as it can lead to greater empathy and result in less stigmatising behaviour (Mitchell, 2014; Perry et al., 2014). As a prime site of influence, schools are integral to raising adolescent mental health awareness andpromoting pro-social behaviours (Carlisle et al., 2018; Lawrence et al., 2015). The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has provided little guidance and resourcing for teachers to select appropriate texts for study. If teachers have been designated as primarily responsible for text selection (Hateley, 2014) they need support from teacher librarians to suggest and source well-written young adult literature dealing with the issues around mental health as texts for the classroom.
