New Resource Hub: Mental Health Leads in School and Colleges

A new online resource hub has been launched by Anna Freud. Commissioned by the Department for Education, Anna Freud have collaborated with a range of education and mental health experts to produce this new hub for mental health leads and other education staff.

The hub will support schools and colleges to embed and sustain a whole-school or college approach to mental health and wellbeing. It offers practical resources and tools from trusted organisations, including senior mental health lead training providers, all under one roof, further supporting mental health leads to continue to develop their role and better support the children and young people in their setting.

The hub has been designed in consultation with a wide range of sector and professional bodies, including the Association of Colleges, to ensure it is suitable for different setting types and age ranges, including colleges, distinguishing between the bespoke needs of a varied workforce.
