Anti-racism and mental health in schools e-learning

A free online course tailored for education professionals, focused on understanding and addressing the impact of racism on mental health in schools.

Anti-racism and mental health in schools

Black and racially minoritised young people can experience racism in many areas of their lives - including at school. Experiencing racism can have significant mental health consequences for young people.

In this course, staff will learn practical strategies for tackling racism in schools, and how to introduce a whole-school approach to anti-racism and mental health.

About this e-learning course

This free online training course is designed to improve education staff’s understanding of the impact of racism on mental health. The self-paced course has been built around our 5 Steps framework, which supports educators to create a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing.

Teaching is broken down into five modules with a short quiz and suggested reflective activities at the end of each unit.

The course is designed for staff to complete at their own pace, but is estimated to take between 3 and 5 hours in total.

This training has been produced in collaboration with BLAM UK, the Honourable Stuart Lawrence, school staff from a range of settings, and features the voices of young people throughout.

Access to the online training is granted for 12 months from the date you are enrolled - you will be sent details of your username and initial password by a member of the admin team.

Please note: access to this course is not immediate. Once you sign up, it can take up to 7 days for your account to be made and for your details to be sent to you. Please only contact us if it has been over 7 days since you registered.
