Improve wellbeing in a whole school context
The pandemic may be behind us, but schools are continuing to experience an increasing number of mental health needs within their setting.
With the availability of services such as CAMHs and support from Educational Psychologists often thinly stretched, pressure is being placed on school leaders to do more. At the same time, the digital world our children grow up in has become an increasingly complex space.
Our online courses for education professionals are designed to create effective strategies for early intervention to improve wellbeing and mental health. We look at systemic whole-school approaches that provide maximum impact, whilst being sustainable to implement over time.
This includes:
- Senior mental health lead training – developing a whole-school
approach to mental health in the form of a focused action plan
- Social and emotional mental health awareness – identifying and
developing targeted strategies to support children with
particular SEMH needs
- Safeguarding children and ethical uses of AI, through courses developed in partnership with Educate Ventures Research

“The course has been a positive catalyst for organisational improvement. Our evolved wellbeing offer has had a direct benefit for staff and students and the strategic plan and focus on wellbeing culture has led to the creation of child-based wellbeing manager to further enhance this area alongside staff mental health. We have gone on to achieve a gold Wellbeing in Schools Award and have had a focused year embedding a culture of wellbeing within our own organisation.”
