Charlie Waller Memorial Trust (2015-2017)
School Mental Health Network
Following a successful bid to Health Education England (Health Education Innovation Fund) the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust provided schools in Wiltshire and Swindon with a programme of mental health training and support.
Working with Dr. Pooky Knightsmith we put together a programme of cpd events offered during 2016 and 2017.
This complements existing work, as part of Wiltshire's Young People's Mental Health Transformation Plan.
The purpose of this project is the development of support for pastoral staff in identifying and supporting issues of mental health, including recognising early signs of common mental health problems, providing support between appointments, and using basic therapy skills.
The project includes:
- 10 face-to-face sessions for school staff
- 3 local network meetings, to share access and learning
- 20 online webinars
Wiltshire schools can still join the
