      Mapping Mental Health in Education

      Lecturers and teachers who increase their knowledge of mental health benefit from taking care of themselves but also role modelling wellbeing behaviours to students. Their role comes with high pressure and huge responsibility so knowing stress signals and guidance to appropriate support is beneficial.

      • The content is developed considering the education setting.
      • Attendees have access to the online portal following the training. This helps to not only embed knowledge but offers practical exercises and resources too.
