Expert Guidance
Our team are experts in mental health within educational settings. We can guide and support your teachers and pastoral care team to take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to student wellbeing.
Creating safe spaces where everyone can feel listened to and supported.
78% of UK school staff experienced mental health symptoms due to their work in 2022 and 59% of staff considered leaving the profession. Teachers are concerned over the lack of mental health resources which is fundamental for sustaining wellbeing and supporting their students during times of crisis.
We offer training programmes and peer mentoring for young people, helping them with practical wellbeing skills. Whilst our bespoke workshops and education programmes equip staff with strategies to support their own mental health and their students.
In addition, our counselling and reflective supervision services offer teachers, staff and students a safe, confidential space to talk and share their experiences.
