Help wellbeing thrive

Schools and colleges play a pivotal role in supporting students' mental wellbeing and reaching those who may need help. With over 70 years of mental health expertise, we’re passionate about giving education staff the tools and confidence to nurture the wellbeing of their students.

We believe in a whole setting approach to mental health. That means providing everyone - students, staff and parents and carers with the right support, training and resources and giving them the confidence they need to nurture wellbeing.
