We are pleased to respond to #WorldMentalHealthDay2023 by sharing our newest report on developing mental health professional development for school-based staff.
The school mental health social enterprise Minds Ahead commissioned The Centre for Education and Youth (CfEY) to examine the current landscape for mental health-related training and development for school-based staff and explore how it might be improved.
This report combines a rapid review of evidence on mental health in schools and the current Continuing Professional Development (CPD) offer available to school staff, with analysis and recommendations provided by an expert group of sector leaders.
Our newest report is the continuation of a long-standing partnership between CfEY and Minds Ahead, which previously led to a 2018 report addressing the gaps that children and young people face in getting support for their mental health in schools. We continue this agenda by exploring the professional development sector and evaluating emerging needs.
