About this course

There has been limited formal learning from cross-system approaches to improving youth mental wellbeing.

During this course you will learn from the experiences and findings of the HeadStart programme and how these can inform the development of support for mental wellbeing in your locality.

We will consider planning, delivery and evaluation of support, and the benefits of taking a ‘test and learn’ stance.

Themes will include:

• Student engagement and voice
• Supporting parents
• Multi-agency approaches
• Working with the wider community
• Sustaining transformation

For each theme we will share approaches taken by local partnerships and reflect on their experiences and learning from implementing each type of activity.

Participants will benefit from case examples and practical ideas for interventions, complementing the development of an integrated approach to mental health and wellbeing support.

Who is this course suitable for

Local leaders of mental health and wellbeing (LA leads, Healthy Schools teams, commissioners, MAT leads)
