Mental Health First Aid

Promote Positive Mental Health in Your School

Mental Health First Aid

Mental health in the workplace is a growing concern, especially within the education sector. Teachers and school staff often face high levels of stress, which can impact their wellbeing and ultimately, student outcomes. By equipping school leaders with the right knowledge and tools, we can foster a supportive environment that prioritises mental health.

Our Mental Health First Aid courses are designed to empower workplace leaders with practical skills to identify, understand, and support mental health challenges in the workplace.

We recently got the call from OFSTED informing us that they would be performing a deep dive into our PE curriculum. JB Sports very forthcoming with offering support in our preparation. Within an hour, we had an in depth discussion with the curriculum lead at JB Sports, who was fantastic. On the day itself, we felt confident as a team in answering questions thrown at us by OFSTED which was helped without question by the support of the JB Sports staff and their curriculum leaders.
