School Guidance | Mental Health

Leadership for Mental Wellbeing in the Secondary School is an introduction to a set of simple shifts you can enact to make your work more rewarding, and your school a flagship of excellence.

Full of practical tools and proven strategies this book draws on a combination of research and experience to empower you to make confident changes on your own terms that are suitable for you and the unique circumstances of your school.

No matter what stage of your career, this book will help you:

• influence disenchanted and overloaded teaching staff to feel motivated and valued again (and improve the budgetary bottom line in the process)

• increase pupil confidence and resilience, preventing deeper mental health problems down the line

• practise bold leadership and deliver on what you really came into teaching for - preparing rounded, confident, individuals for life

Emphasising whole-person and whole-school approaches, this book is for any school leader looking to transform how they, their staff and their students feel about and cope with the day-to-day challenges and demands placed upon them.
