In support of the government's commitment for all schools and to have a Senior Mental Health Lead, this 5-day course helps schools to develop a whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing, covering all aspects of leading mental health support in a setting including policy, practice and leadership.
The initial government incentives have concluded, however the need for mental health leads in schools is as strong as ever.
