Overview
The classroom plays an important part in a child’s learning and development, but schools are also workplaces, where fostering a safe, inclusive, and mentally healthy environment is vital. Educators and education leaders have a professional commitment and a responsibility to support students’ wellbeing. It is equally important that adults who work in schools support one another professionally and mentally. This presentation introduces a comprehensive suite of Mental Health First Aid training courses designed for the entire school community, emphasising the importance of collegial support as an early intervention, aiming to create a culture of well-being that supports adults in their pivotal role. Innovative pedagogical approaches will be presented, showcasing technological advancements for mental health training in educational settings.
