Senior Mental Health Lead Training – All 8 Principles for Whole-School Mental Wellbeing
(online)
The course was fantastic, well paced, interactive and packed with theory and information. Each week, I have looked forward to sharing ideas with other professionals as well as having time to reflect on my own practice and look forward to enhancing my whole school mental health and wellbeing knowledge and implementation. Every session has been beneficial and informative and I will really miss my Tuesday meetings.”
– Stella Coulson (Inclusion Leader, Wittersham School)

Testimonials about this Senior Mental Health Lead Training course:
I would highly recommend this SMHL training. The course is well-structured, with a weekly focus that helps build knowledge and skills without feeling overwhelming. Ava is so supportive and able to provide constructive and useful advice.”
– Sarah Elwill (Deputy Headteacher, Wirral)
It was a very well structured course, with a very experienced coach. Prior to starting the course I had limited knowledge and understanding on how to lead wellbeing in the school. Course materials and delivery gave me great understanding in this subject area and I am able to plan, present and implement fundamental strategies promoting well-being in my school.”
– Giedre Addison (School Business Manager, England)
