About this training
Strategies for Safety and Wellbeing (SSW) is a curriculum-based approach involving training teachers to deliver eight lessons on how to look after your mental health, knowing when help from others is needed and being aware of support networks.
This training was trialled as part of the Education for Wellbeing randomised control trials and was found to improve intended help-seeking for mental health difficulties in primary schools, and had a high probability of being cost effective in the longer term. It was therefore recommended as an intervention for primary schools.
