There is a growing concern and increase with Mental and Emotional health issues in our schools. We need to stand together, work as one, and support each other to be emotionally healthy, resilient and happy, prepared for the struggles that 21st Century Education is placing upon us.
Do you have an “inside out, outside in” emotional wellbeing philosophy and approach in your school/college? The skills and strategies needed for wellbeing and mental health should now be part of teaching, learning and staff development. So why is it that some topics are still difficult to talk about or even tackle? Why taboo? Why are so many scared of talking, addressing and supporting the needs of our children and staff in an ever changing, stressful and complex system of wellbeing and mental health.
Developing a whole school/college approach to meeting the emotional needs for everyone is crucial for effective teaching and learning as well as professional wellbeing. This course will help you make a difference in your school/college, so that you are energised, refreshed and confident in dealing with mental and emotional health and wellbeing for all.
