About this course
Raising Awareness: Supporting Mental Health in Schools - Primary is underpinned by the Centre’s longstanding experience of working within schools and colleges to support pupil, parent/carer and staff mental health. This training is aimed at raising awareness, providing support to identify the early signs of specific mental health illness and the development of a common language when discussing mental health. This training provides a practical framework, alongside key actions and materials that aim to support primary school staff in championing mental health and wellbeing across the whole school community. The training is grounded in a rigorous evidence base.
