These slides were developed for South Central Teaching School in May 2023.
The aim was to use the structure of my Mentally Healthy Schools Workbook to help us explore and action plan short, medium and longer term steps we can take towards being mentally healthy schools whilst sharing good practice between schools along the way.
If you were there, I hope these are a helpful aide-memoire. If not, I hope they make enough sense without me to be useful. If you’d like to download them, you can do so via this page on slideshare.
And here’s the action planning template we worked through:
