A service providing mental health and wellbeing support for school leaders, teachers and education staff has been extended for another year, thanks to funding from the Welsh Government.
Education Support is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of teachers, school leaders and education staff.
The funded Staff Wellbeing Service offers free advice and support for schools across Wales, with a focus on improving staff wellbeing and healthy workplace cultures.
Staff Wellbeing Advisors work with schools to provide practical guidance, strategies and free resources that support staff mental health and wellbeing.
The service offers two types of support. We suggest that you sign-up now – spaces are free but limited:

Faye McGuinness, Director of Programmes and Services at Education Support, said:
“Teachers, leaders and school staff play a vital role in shaping the lives of children and young people, and good mental and emotional health is central to their ability to do their jobs effectively.
“It is in everyone’s interest – pupils’, parents’ and the wider Welsh community – that educators in Wales are mentally and emotionally well enough to guide and inspire the next generation.
“For staff wellbeing to thrive, school cultures must actively prioritise it. That’s why we are delighted to continue offering this support, thanks to funding from the Welsh Government.”
