Testimonials

We were extremely pleased with the mental health training delivered to us as a staff team today. Ava was so knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to understand our needs and tailoring the session to our school context and the different roles across our setting. The focus on SEN and specific profiles of need was invaluable.

We found the training both informative and positive, with really practical tips for us and the students. It felt useful, well delivered, and relevant to our day to day practice, offering strategies we can put in place straight away. The session prompted personal insight as well as professional reflection for many of us.

Ava's delivery was pitched perfectly, and we were all fully engaged throughout. Overall, it was an excellent and impactful session for both staff and student wellbeing; we would highly recommend!

Informative training. I enjoyed the style the training was delivered in. It made it easy to want to participate and engage fully in the exercises given. Lots of information, tools and techniques which can be used in my school. I'm excited to go back and share what I've learnt. [DBT STEPS-A training]

All SLT and SENDCOs across the UK need this training [DBT STEPS-A training]. The course covered a lot of information. This made me feel more valued as an adult, and my wellbeing. What we learned I will use on my family too.

DBT training has opened my eyes to new and exciting ways to support our students. I am excited to implement DBT at our school.

If you want to help the most vulnerable, challenging students then you need to do this training [DBT STEPS-A training]. So much to take home and use. Better than any other training you will ever do. Inspiring, I've finally found what I've been looking for.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
