The education sector is experiencing a mental health crisis, with staff and pupils alike in need of more support than ever before. But with overstretched and under-resourced CAMHS leading to lengthy waiting times, and workload concerns continuing to burden staff, it is crucial that schools and academy trusts put in place strategies that facilitate improved mental health and wellbeing.

Figures published by Young Minds show that 83% of young people with mental health needs feel the pandemic has made their mental health worse, while one in six children aged 5-16 were identified as having a probable mental health problem in 2021. But even without a diagnosis, we know that teachers and leaders are facing increased reports of anxiety and other individual concerns.

Meanwhile, in NASUWT’s most recent Teacher Wellbeing Survey, 90% of teachers reported having experienced more work-related stress in the last 12 months, with 91% and 64% feeling their job has negatively impacted their mental health and physical health respectively.
