In June 2022, our panel of experts discussed practical ways in which you can support your mental health and wellbeing. Featuring representatives from health, schools, FE and youth work, the event provided powerful take-away actions designed to leave attendees feeling empowered, positive, and action-focused.

Some of the key areas  discussed include:

• what do effective workplace wellbeing strategies look like?
• how do we create a culture that provides support through times of stress, and helps to build resilience?
• what are the practical things that leaders can do to lead compassionately, and support their own, and practitioners’ wellbeing?
• what should we all be doing in order to make sure that we able to recognise potential warning signs of mental health issues amongst our colleagues?
• how can we ensure that we are all comfortable talking about mental health and wellbeing and feel able to have open conversations with managers?

This event was hosted in partnership with Education Support, the only UK charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of teachers and education staff.
