ExplorePupil Mental Health & Wellbeing Training
More children are struggling with their mental health, and schools are on the front line. Staff need to understand what pupils are going through, spot the signs early, and know how to respond. This training helps your whole team support pupil mental health and wellbeing, and build a school where children feel safe and well.
Below, we explain what our pupil mental health and wellbeing training involves, and how it helps you support every child.
What Is Pupil Mental Health & Wellbeing Training?
It’s practical training that helps staff understand and support pupils’ mental health and wellbeing. We cover recognising the signs of common difficulties, responding with care, supporting anxious and vulnerable pupils, and building a whole-school culture that promotes wellbeing.
We link it to the connection between mental health, safeguarding, behaviour, and attendance, and tailor it to your setting and the needs of your pupils.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, pastoral teams, mental health leads, and support staff. Trusts often run it across schools for a shared approach.
Many schools ask for it as more pupils struggle with anxiety and low mood, or to build a stronger whole-school approach to wellbeing.
