The training is ideal for teachers, SENCOs, pastoral leads, ELSA’s nurture practitioners, Thrive practitioners, wellbeing assistants and other staff who want to make a lasting difference to their school’s pupils.

Deepen Your Understanding With Online Training

The Supporting Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing in Schools package is made of online training modules. Each course has been designed to provide school staff with the practical tools and strategies they need to help improve the outcomes for children and young people. Courses are supported by an experienced and qualified online coach, with each module equivalent to 20 hours of CPD. They include a selection of tasks for the practitioner to undertake with the help of your coach.

The Brain, Learning & Behaviour

Research clearly highlights that supporting both staff and children and young people (CYP) to understand how the brain triggers emotions and affects learning, creates deeper understanding of our emotions and behaviours.

Creating Positive Relationships

Research has demonstrated that relationships play a significant role in learning and mental health and wellbeing. This course looks at how relationships underpin perception, awareness, and understanding, and how they can influence teaching, learning, and behaviour.

Self Discovery

A strong positive self-image supports our mental health and wellbeing as well as our ability to achieve. This module explores how the foundations for self-esteem are laid early in a child’s life and helps practitioners understand that the picture we create of ourselves is a personal construct that has developed from the responses of others and internal reflections.

Let's Talk About Emotions

This module focuses on the importance of developing emotional literacy in our children and young people, and also a variety of strategies to use within the classroom and across school. It covers how emotions influence learning, emotional barriers, ways to support young people in regulating emotions, and how to develop your own emotional competencies.
