We'd all like to think our colleagues could talk to us if they were struggling with their mental health, but would you know what to say in the moment? Talking about mental health can have a big impact on everyone involved, but having the conversation isn’t always easy—especially if it’s your first time. While there’s no ‘right’ way to approach it, the Mental Health Foundation have put together some helpful tips to guide you through those important discussions.

Today I’m heading to the Tes SEND Show in London to share how the Thrive Approach transforms the lives of children and young people. As always, it is a young person who articulates the positive impact of Thrive best… “Thrive has helped me to manage my emotions. I can now regulate myself and I can use the strategies that I have learned to help other students who might find it difficult. Being a Thrive Ambassador means I can support students who may be having struggles with their emotional wellbeing,” - Thrive Ambassador, Meridian High School https://lnkd.in/e9mUaT28 #SEND #Education #School #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Behaviour

To mark #WorldMentalHealthDay, the Thrive team has been getting together in the office and online to raise awareness of the importance of supporting one another's mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. It's been a great opportunity to take time to chat with colleagues - and enjoy some tea and cake!

🌍💚 World Mental Health Day 💚🌍 This year’s theme is Workplace Mental Health, and we know that supporting staff wellbeing is key to creating a thriving environment in schools. Here are three simple activities you can introduce to promote better mental health in your workplace: 1️⃣ Take Breaks Outside – A breath of fresh air can reduce stress and refresh your mind. 2️⃣ Check-in with Colleagues – A quick chat with a colleague can boost both your and their mood. 3️⃣ Mindful Breathing – Pause for a few minutes of deep breathing to regain focus and reduce tension. Want to dive deeper? Our Supporting Staff Wellbeing in Schools course is designed to help staff create a more supportive and healthy work environment.

A new report from Edurio shows that pupils are feeling less happy at school and find learning less interesting, a trend that has continued since 2020. Alongside this, incidents of emotional and physical violence against staff have risen for the third consecutive year, with nearly 1 in 4 staff members experiencing some form of violence. Supporting the social and emotional development and wellbeing of pupils has never been more crucial. Join our community of over 75,000 like-minded people who are on a mission to improve children and young people's mental health. #PupilWellbeing #Behaviour #Attendance #ChildrensMentalHealth #SchoolLeadership

On Friday, we had the pleasure of joining Bentley New Village Primary School to celebrate their well-deserved achievement of School of Excellence status. The atmosphere was vibrant as staff and pupils dressed in rainbow colours and indulged in delightful angel cakes to mark the occasion. The school's Inclusion Leader, Louise Wales, said of their Thrive journey: “We do work with some challenging children but we have a ‘never give up’ attitude. We want to give our children the skills to succeed in life beyond New Village. We’re so passionate and feel we’ve made a difference to our children’s experiences of school.” Our congratulations to you all 🎉 The event even caught the attention of the local media!
