Wellbeing Champion Training

At Brightcore Consultancy our team of expert facilitators regularly deliver Wellbeing Champion Training in Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and FE Colleges.

Wellbeing Champions promote and support mental health and wellbeing throughout the school/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.

Aside from being an amazing opportunity to lead on the improvement of wellbeing for their entire School/College community, for many young people, being a Wellbeing Champion also increases their confidence, self esteem and key skills such as leadership, communication and empathy.

Find out below how we create and deliver this training for your unique setting, from the initial consultation through to your Wellbeing Champions being fully operational and confident in their new role.
