Make time for you
How are you?
You won’t be surprised to learn that 78% of teachers and 84% of school leaders experienced symptoms of stress due to their work last year.
You might be here today because you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or exhausted. Or you’re responsible for staff who are.
These are normal human responses to stress, but if unchecked can harm your health and wellbeing.
That’s why we developed wellbeing training courses, packed with practical, research-driven information to help you better understand and improve your health and wellbeing.

- Staff are more able to manage anxiety and stress with better coping strategies;
- Staff feel valued, supported and invested in;
- Leading to reduced sickness absence;
- Increased productivity and engagement;

- Positive impact on pupils, including improved educational outcomes.

How can we help you today?
“Maria has supported Elevate Multi-academy trusts wellbeing strategy through a range of training sessions for over 12 months.
She has helped to develop the role of the well-being champions in all the schools and provided key strategies for all the staff across Elevate to manage and prioritise their wellbeing.
Feedback from the sessions has been overwhelmingly positive with staff reporting ways in which they have managed their levels of stress and anxiety as a result of developing a better understanding of the triggers for themselves.
Having an expert leading these sessions has been really important and Maria’s approach, sensitivity and wealth of knowledge has led to increased engagement and openness about the challenges that staff were facing.”
