Wellbeing Champion Training
Our team of expert and accredited trainers deliver Wellbeing Champion Training courses in Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and FE Colleges.
Wellbeing Champions promote and support mental health and wellbeing throughout the school or college community in an age appropriate way. Your selected group of pupils/students learn to champion the wellbeing of their peers and lead by example, by sharing healthy habits that contribute to improved mental health, with an option to act as peer mentors depending on your plan for your Wellbeing Champions. The programme empowers students, allowing them to grow in their understanding of mental health and how to support each other and for many young people, being a Wellbeing Champion also increases their confidence, self esteem and key skills such as leadership, communication and empathy.
​
We also offer a live online Wellbeing Champion Facilitator Training which enables you to train your students/pupils to become Wellbeing Champions within your setting. Forming part of your whole school approach to Mental Health and Wellbeing, the course will give you an opportunity to consider wellbeing, and the perceptions of wellbeing, in your context as well as the tools to gather this information - enabling you to look at the different approaches to the role of Wellbeing Champions and to determine which is the most suitable for you.
This interactive course, with plenty of discussion, will allow you to develop of ideas appropriate for you and your school/college. We provide all the resources and planning tools you need to run the training, for as many students as required. You will leave the training with a clear bespoke plan and with all the resources you need to set up the programme and run it effectively within your setting.​
