Various packages can be delivered within schools

 

School-based mental health promotion programmes result in a broad range of improved outcomes, including reduced health risk behaviours, improved wellbeing, reduced depression, conduct disorder and anxiety, and improved social outcomes. I offer a number of different services for schools, including work with teaching staff, pupils and parents.  This list is not exhaustive and I design bespoke packages for each school.

 

Teachers

 

Educational workshops and  INSET sessions, e.g. emotional and mental health in school, mindfulness, teacher stress, childhood development (what's normal and what to look out for), managing anxiety, depression, bereavement etc, and other specialist workshops. Consultation, supervision  and support to staff working with pupils of concern, or delivering mental health support in school.
