Bespoke mental health support for schools and colleges
We offer bespoke training and support for schools, colleges, trusts and local authorities so they can support their student’s mental health and help wellbeing thrive.
How we can help you
Your setting is unique and so are the challenges your students and staff face.
With bespoke support you can build your team's skills to manage these specific challenges and create a culture and environment that helps wellbeing thrive. When students feel supported and cared for, there are positive effects on their sense of belonging, attendance, behaviour, and attainment.
We can help by assessing your current wellbeing provision, providing expert advice and guidance in specific areas or even creating a bespoke training programme for your staff.
Whatever your needs, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Bespoke mental health training
We can build an evidence-based training programme tailored to your needs. Training can be delivered to your whole staff or of specific groups, including SENCOs, pastoral staff, senior leaders and support staff. Your training can focus on one topic, or a mix of topics based on your specific needs. Our trainers have expertise in a range of topics, including:
developing and embedding a whole-school approach to wellbeing
supporting students with common wellbeing issues like anxiety and low mood
digital resilience and coping with the online world
self-harm prevention
supporting autistic students
understanding and addressing barriers to attendance
supporting staff wellbeing.
Wellbeing reviews
A wellbeing review will help you understand what’s working well, where the gaps are, and how to develop your wellbeing approach. Reviews can be conducted across one school or across a group of schools, such as in a trust. With actionable recommendations to take away, we’ll help you deliver change efficiently and effectively and improve mental health outcomes for your students. We’ll look at:
staff training and understanding of mental health
current perceptions of mental health among staff and students
awareness of available support services
effectiveness of referral systems
early warning sign detection and appropriate referrals
existing mental health policies
procedures risk management practices
consistency across the school, or across schools in a trust.
After the review, we’ll provide a comprehensive report identifying gaps and actions to improve your mental health and wellbeing approach and support provision. If training is needed, we can tailor a programme to fill specific gaps in your setting’s knowledge.
Consultancy
If you need help planning and delivering your wellbeing provision, we offer advice and consultancy to help you support your school or college’s needs. This could be, for example, support in developing and embedding a whole-setting approach to mental health and wellbeing.
You’ll get a consultation with one of our trainers, who’ll use their extensive experience of mental health and education to identify areas for development. We’ll follow up in two-to-three months to review progress and explore how we can support you to meet your setting’s needs.
Cost and availability
Investing in staff development can prevent mental health problems from escalating, reducing the need for more expensive interventions in the longer term.
