Wellbeing Support for Staff

Primary school staff juggle a multitude of different tasks and demands, so it’s really important that we are given the right emotional and practical support.

The resources below are particularly useful for teachers, support staff and others working in primary schools, offering information, advice and practical resources to better understand and promote mental health and wellbeing in schools.

When we have good levels of wellbeing, we feel that life is in balance and that we can deal effectively with daily troubles, as well as bounce back from life’s challenges. Positive staff wellbeing can increase productivity and engagement, improve people’s job satisfaction, and help to reduce absence from work and it means that staff are better able, in turn, to support their pupils.
