Start 2023 with a positive step to promote and support mental health & wellbeing

It only takes 5 minutes to reserve a £1,200 grant for DfE quality assured senior mental health lead training (beginner, intermediate & advanced level courses are available). Apply for your grant before the end of the financial year to include your setting in the list of 10,000 plus schools and colleges that have already benefitted from the training.

Develop your mental health lead’s knowledge and practical skills to embed an effective whole school or college approach to mental health and wellbeing, including: 

• Understanding and identifying mental health and wellbeing needs  
• Approaches to plan and lead change to improve your approach 
• Developing your setting’s universal and targeted support offer 
• Strategies to listen to student/pupil voice and develop positive relationships with parents, families and carers 
• Approaches to work effectively with community mental health services 

The grant can also be used to pay for supply cover to backfill the individual undertaking training, or for further support to sustain your approach to mental health and wellbeing.
