Course Structure
We enable you to meet the DfE’s 8 Learning Outcomes for Senior Mental Health Leads whilst also ensuring that your school’s mental health strategy is underpinned by the 6 Principles of Trauma Informed Practice (safety, trust and transparency, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, voice & choice and cultural issues).

The course will help you to draw on the principles of trauma informed practice, and develop the model of ‘realise, recognise, respond and resist.’ How?

These elements will ensure a holistic, trauma-informed approach to mental health in educational settings.

Together, we will delve into the current challenges that you may encounter when implementing whole-school approaches; equipping you with practical strategies that can be readily applied to overcome these challenges.

With the increasing complexity of mental health needs in young people, we will consider how to respond to this sustainably and effectively by preventing harm and seeking to mitigate it when it has already happened.

You will be supported to understand the policy and research context, how to promote belonging, respond to diverse needs, how to make effective use of partnership working in a way that is safe, supportive and creates encouraging environments.
