Understanding self-harm
Self-harm and suicide prevention in children and young people (educational settings).

This session is specifically aimed at school staff, and would be particularly suited for safeguarding leads, pastoral staff and mental health leads.
Peer group supervision
Peer Group Supervision.
Peer group supervision is an effective form of leaderless group consulting, and has been found to be effective in various contexts, including education. In peer group supervision staff confer to one another, reciprocating key issues in their professional role, in order to find new ways of resolving certain issues.
In this training event participants will learn about the advantages of peer group supervision and how it links with well-being. The peer group supervision model of Tietze will be practised and staff will be provided with all the information needed to use this model of peer group supervision.
Peer Group Supervision is offered as an interactive session, booked by organisations for their staff. The training consists of one 1.5 hour session and a 45 minute follow up session, after which the group of staff is trained to use peer group supervision in their setting, and invite further colleagues to join the group.
Teaching about mental health
Teaching about mental health as part of a whole school approach to well-being.
This interactive training event draws on the best practice and evidence of how to effectively convey mental health messages and mindfullness to young people in schools.
The trainer will describe the processes of effective teaching about mental health and how to sensitively deliver training to young people in an educational setting.
Examples of support and where to find resources will be shared.
