About This Webinar

This conference is focused on student wellbeing and mental health, but we cannot support our young people unless we adopt a whole-school approach, ensuring everyone in the school community has the opportunity to flourish and everyone’s mental health and wellbeing is considered and supported - from strategic planning and policy-setting to practical everyday applications and interactions. Much of Frederika’s work with schools, as well as her academic work and research, focuses on whole-school approaches to wellbeing.

In this session, she will share key considerations for such approaches –for pupils, staff & families. She will also offer a number of practical suggestions, tools and resources for schools to consider as part of their staff wellbeing strategies, informed by her work and the examples she highlights in her book, For Flourishing’s Sake (2020, Jessica Kingsley Publishing) and in her chapter in The Big Book of Whole School Wellbeing (Evans, Hoyle, Roberts & Yusuf, 2021, Corwin/SAGE). Delegates will have the opportunity to experience some practical techniques for themselves and be encouraged to reflect on how they and their schools can move forward in enhancing staff wellbeing.
