The course was very helpful. It was good to connect with other educators who experience similar challenges and Ava guided our discussions with expertise. The slides were clear and the resources we have access to were excellent. Well worth the time and money spent – thank you!”

Testimonials about our Senior Mental Health Lead courses:
The course was well planned and led by Ava at Mentally Well Schools. The learning was planned over a course of weeks which made it accessible. Working with international colleagues was refreshing and added depth to the discussion due to the varied experience of professionals. Follow up support was available from Ava and the 1:1 coaching provided valuable time to discuss my individual school setting.”
– Pip Blythe (Head teacher, Astbury, UK)
Fantastic course. Well thought out and thorough. I now feel ready to embark on my new role as mental health lead in our school – this course has provided me with the tools, resources and strategies to confidently approach mental health and wellbeing in our primary setting.”
– Lisa Hide (Mental Health Lead, Central Walker CofE Primary School)
Thank you for this course. The information and examples throughout were very useful and the support of Ava and the other course attendees was extremely helpful. I have very much enjoyed completing this course and am excited to share and implement new strategies with colleagues and the whole school community. Thank you.
