Leadership of School Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental health is everybody's responsibility and all schools play a key role in supporting the mental health of their students.

• Gain an understanding of the evidence of effective whole school mental health 
• Apply your knowledge in your role as a school leader
• Learn how to recognise issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and depression
• Take early steps to improve the mental health of children in your care
• Develop sophisticated and original interventions to build children's resilience and nurture appropriate coping mechanisms
• Provide an inclusive and enabling environment where every student's mental health can be supported and strengthened
