Working Together to Create a Mentally Healthy School
More young people are struggling with their mental health, and school staff are being asked to hold more than ever. We work alongside schools to provide student-centred, practical mental health support, to help pupils, staff and families build skills, strengthen relationships, and support emotional wellbeing across the whole school community.
From student mental health lessons and parent workshops to staff training, everything we offer can be tailored to what your school really needs.
