What is covered?
This is an introductory course aimed at new senior mental health leads, or those with no previous experience in mental health leadership.
Using a mixture of introductory e-learning, followed by a 2 day online course, you will be supported to develop and review your strategy through 1-2-1 coaching and group coaching sessions over a 12 month period.
By identifying the challenges faced by an individual school, leaders will be able to improve on and facilitate change in:
- Pupil attendance, attainment, and behaviour
- Recognition of need
- The School and Community relationship and referral connection
- Staff wellbeing and resilience
Throughout this course you will:
- Work through and develop a targeted Action Plan specific to your school
- Implement tools to assess need
- Identify interventions and measure pupil and staff outcomes
- Map community based mental health provision for your school area and engage with providers
- Embed change within the school community
- Implement strategies that will lead cultural change for the future of your school, staff, pupils and parents/carers
Peer support via our dedicated app, as well as resources to support your learning will be provided to all participants.
