Mental health: Individuals and Organisations

About this module

In this session, we’ll consider some of the recent research around teacher wellbeing and workload. We will look at the psychological model of Compassion Focused Therapy and key literature around mental health. We will explore how we can use this as a useful platform for understanding mental health before considering how it might be conceptualised and understood at the level of the individual and wider organisations to assist in promoting a positive approach to workload.

This module is suitable for Middle and Senior Leaders.
