Section 1
Over three-quarters of education professionals feel they don't have enough guidance or support at work to manage their own mental health. In this section, we get introduced to Mental Health within the Education sector and raises the importance of mental health training and the common triggers of poor mental health.
Section 2
In this section, we’ll be raising awareness of common mental health problems, particularly anxiety and depression. But we’ll also be looking at how stress and loneliness can have a big influence on your mental health. If you’re interested in learning more, this section also has extra information on a small number of the other common mental illnesses!
Section 3
This section is your Wellbeing Toolkit that can help you look after your mental health on a daily basis. We appreciate that everyone has their own ideas about how to approach their mental health and wellbeing, so this section has a variety of insights, mini exercises, recommendations and some food for thought so you can use what suits you.
Section 4
If your wellbeing is becoming a top priority for you, and you feel like you need extra support, there’s plenty of avenues you can go down – or even suggest to your family, friends and colleagues if they need some guidance. This section provides some useful external resources that you may wish to use to aid your wellbeing.
About this course
Sadly, 67% of teachers and other education professionals describe themselves as stressed. This statistic only worsens when you consider that 74% of education professionals consider they do not have enough guidance about mental health and wellbeing at work.
The education sector can be a particularly demanding industry, which can have a detrimental effect on employee wellbeing. In fact, almost 30% of teachers work more than 51 hours a week, on average.
Teachers and other education professionals are at breaking point and wellbeing needs to be pushed way up the agenda. Our Mental Health Awareness Training for Education is broken down into 4 easy-to-follow and beautifully animated sections which aim to educate learners on the various types of mental health problems, the science behind our thinking, and where to go to for external help. The course is suitable for anybody working in the education sector.

This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
The course has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to support both their own and others' mental well-being effectively.
The course allows participants to understand: what mental health is and why it is important; the importance of reducing stigma and misconceptions about mental health, and encouraging open conversations and creating supportive environment; how to identify early warning signs of mental health issues in oneself or others; active listening skills and the importance of empathy in these conversations; when and how to seek professional help; the internal and external support systems and resources that are available; the strategies for maintaining one’s own mental well-being and resilience; and techniques such as mindfulness, stress management, and setting healthy boundaries.

An excellent learning package
This course provides all you need without being overly long or too preachy. It allows you the space to think about Mental Health and certainly impaired my own awareness of what it is. It is supportive and offers guidance for routes you might choose to take rather than telling you what to do.
The slides and videos were very clear
The style of presentation was supportive. There were resources to follow up with if you want to.
Informative and useful
I rated with 5 is good for the following reasons: – The material very well prepared by having important features such as 1)transcript what has been said;2) options for subtitles in a different languages for not native English speakers; 3) there are extra sources to expand knowledge on existing material; – all the material has been carefully chosen. Thank you
