Introduction

Students navigate a wide range of emotional, social and academic pressures. Teachers are often the first to observe changes but may feel unsure how to interpret behaviours or respond appropriately. These awareness sessions provide practical information on key wellbeing topics, helping staff build confidence and consistency in handling concerns.

Each session is designed to be clear, supportive and suitable for school environments, with no expectation of personal sharing.

Why These Sessions Matter

• Teachers gain clearer understanding of issues affecting student wellbeing
• Early signs are recognised sooner, reducing uncertainty and escalation
• Schools build consistent responses across departments and year groups
