Mental health in schools: the role of leaders in supporting positive wellbeing
A series of free webinars on mental health leadership in educational settings
One in six school-aged children are likely to experience a mental health problem.*
In this free webinar series, we’ll explore the roles and responsibilities school leaders have in supporting mental health and wellbeing in their educational setting. You’ll hear about the principles behind implementing a whole school approach to mental health and be provided with practical tools and guidance. Through webinars aimed at different age ranges, you’ll explore challenges unique to your type of setting– whether you’re working in an early years setting, primary school or secondary school.
Each webinar will be led by one of our experts and consist of a presentation followed by a Q&A session with the presenter(s) – this is where you’ll have the chance to raise questions live with our experts on mental health in education
