Anti-racism and mental health in schools e-learning

Anti-racism and mental health in schools

Black and racially minoritised young people can experience racism in many areas of their lives - including at school. Experiencing racism can have significant mental health consequences for young people.

In this course, staff will learn practical strategies for tackling racism in schools, and how to introduce a whole-school approach to anti-racism and mental health.

About this e-learning course

This free online training course is designed to improve education staff’s understanding of the impact of racism on mental health. The self-paced course has been built around our 5 Steps framework, which supports educators to create a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing.

Teaching is broken down into five modules with suggested reflective activities throughout each unit.

The course is designed for staff to complete at their own pace but is estimated to take between 3 and 5 hours in total.

This training has been produced in collaboration with BLAM UK, the Honourable Stuart Lawrence, school staff from a range of settings, and features the voices of young people throughout.

Access to the online training is granted for 12 months from the date you are enrolled - you will be sent details of your username and initial password by a member of the admin team.

Once booked, you will receive an email to confirm your booking, an email to provide access details to the Anna Freud Learning Hub and an email providing access to the Anti-racism and mental health in schools e-learning course. If you have any issues with access, please contact us.

You can request a CPD certificate upon completion of the course.
