During this workshop we will increase awareness of the most common mental health problems. Staff will be helped to improve their own mental health in numerous ways, as well as become more informed & equipped to address issues experienced by colleagues & pupils. There will be a strong practical focus upon strategies for improving wellbeing, how to hold conversations about your own & others’ mental health, & guidance around when & how to seek help. We will focus upon the fact that everyone can benefit from improving & protecting their mental wellbeing as a preventative measure, even those considered to have ‘good’ mental health at present.
