Course Overview

Mental health is everybody's responsibility and all schools play a key role in supporting the mental health of their students. This course will enable you to promote positive mental health and well-being, help your school adopt strategies which prevent mental illness and improve your support processes for children and young people in schools.

As part of your course, you’ll:

  • Gain an understanding of the evidence of effective whole-school mental health

  • Apply your knowledge in your role as a school leader

  • Learn how to recognise issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and depression

  • Take early steps to improve the mental health of children in your care

  • Develop sophisticated and original interventions to build children’s resilience and nurture appropriate coping mechanisms

  • Provide an inclusive and enabling environment where every student's mental health can be supported and strengthened

  • This course will adopt a multidisciplinary, whole-systems approach to the improvement of mental health and well-being.

You’ll draw on expertise from school leadership and teaching, organisational change, child therapy, education psychology and social work. And you’ll develop the knowledge, confidence, independence and leadership skills to be able to provide effective mental health support for all your students.

By strengthening your self-awareness and reflective skills, you’ll be able to confidently lead on best practices in the support and promotion of student resilience and mental health across your community.
