SafeSpot: an innovative app and mental health support package for Scottish schools - a qualitative analysis as part of a mixed methods study.

Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate teachers' and pupils' perceptions about the effect of the SafeSpot mental health curriculum on the well-being of young people and on their knowledge of mental health conditions. This trial intends to determine the acceptability and benefits of web and mobile technology in delivering emotional well-being in schools, through use of the SafeSpot programme.

Background: With 10% of young people aged 5 to 16 diagnosed with a mental disorder, there is pressure for schools to address their pupils' emotional well-being.
