- 1Mental Health in Education
- 2Mental Health Problems
- 3Wellbeing toolkit
- 4External Help
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 course is very good
This course is so helpful for us to understand more about mental health problem and how we can deal with it. The resources are insightful too.
A good informative course
Good to keep the mind active
Good introduction
This was enough information for us all to take something away and have a better understanding of how to treat people and look after each other
Very practical helpful
It's helps me to use methods and techniques for help others in life.
Informative
Found it to be a good break down of the problems that come from mental health. They key part I found useful was around the took kit section.
Amazing easy to use and very informative
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Informative
Informative and relevant to my role.
Not Inclusive
Apart from closed captions, there is nothing inclusive about this training. The graphics used within the training are of dogs – having PTSD from being bitten by one and then this coming up in a mental health training video was so much fun. I work in higher education, change the language to be more general or do separate training. Why I had to click to progress each video is beyond me, this did not help my engagement at all, it was just annoying. What would have helped my engagement: – You taking into account some of the target audience are neurodivergent; – There being the ability to select the speed of the video; – The training taking into consideration some of us already have mental health issues;
Why is this training important?
