Does our education system still have a future?
Teachers, governors, and leadership teams are now suffering at an unprecedented rate! Student wellbeing is an increasing priority in schools yet we don’t seem to be ready to prioritise staff wellbeing. How can we support our students when our own mental health and wellbeing is suffering? Join us on our free masterclass where we will share evidence based insights on how educators can overcome these mammoth challenges, preventing anxiety, overwhelm and burnout.

With the absence of positive mental health culture and support in our schools and nothing being done to address the issue, we can only see the education profession becoming much more stressful over the impending years
(American University School of Education, LPI)
Our educators are already responding to the problem of anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm by leaving the profession altogether. If we don't take massive action now then our education system will fail
(Education Support)
A stress epidemic has been gripping the UK education workforce, as 8 in 10 teachers reported high levels of work related stress and the negative impact it has on their overall mental health. And this was before the pandemic!
(Education Support)
When that number is compared to other UK employees, there is a 16% difference, as 60% of people describe their jobs as highly stressful and only 37% report physical symptoms
(Teacher Wellbeing Index)
Senior leaders have a greater chance of suffering from all of the listed symptoms than other education professionals. The number of those reporting symptoms of depression rose from 25% to 40% from 2017 to 2018. Now, as a result of the pandemic we can only speculate has to how high that percentage is today
