The under-theorised position of the emotional aspect of teaching and the declining mental health of school students and teachers have prompted the author to embark on an investigation into the social function of teaching. This book explores social support from its origin in health psychology, and provides an evidence base to suggest how social support can be used to benefit learners and teachers. Given its multidisciplinary approach, the book will be of interest to practitioners in education and beyond.
