From September 2021 any state school or college will be able to access a grant of about £1,200 to cover the costs of completing senior mental health leadership training.
Developed by experienced senior mental health leads
As always, our programmes are driven by the evidence of what works in leading whole school or college strategic change for mental health and are created by practicing and qualified senior leads for mental health.
We are drawing on our established networks of proven senior mental health leads, who will provide expert and phase-specific coaching, support and guidance throughout the programmes that we run. If you are interested in finding out more about being a coach on our new programmes please contact us and attend an upcoming webinar, on 12th July, at either 1:30 or 5:15pm
