How we're addressing mental health and wellbeing

We're passionate about creating a culture of positive wellbeing and mental health and are committed to working together with teachers and senior leaders to help build healthy, calm and happy schools.

Together we can drive positive change, encourage conversation, and create an environment that fosters wellbeing for pupils as well as staff.

Looking for immediate help and support?

If you feel that you or someone you know (be they a parent, child, teacher or young person) are at immediate risk of causing harm to themselves or others, it’s important to seek immediate professional help by calling 999.  

However you or someone you know might be feeling or going through, it’s important to know you’re not alone. There’s lots of information and support services in the UK to help.

Education Support

There can be many stresses on those who work in education - a challenging student, stress & depression, personal financial worries and so many more. That’s why Education Support offers free, confidential help and support.

As a result of this poll Pearson asked me to share my thoughts about critical thinking and to provide some tips and tricks to help develop high-order thinking skills.
