Introduction

Never has a focus on mental health and positive psychology been more crucial than today and schools are working harder than ever with families to support children’s wellbeing in these tricky times. For a number of years, the Faculty of Education has been working within wider partnerships to promote emotional health as the foundational approach for education, ‘the bedrock for a positive learning environment‘.  Below are links and resources to support teacher and pupil wellbeing, including resources gathered through our Emotional Health network.  Please email wendy.cobb@canterbury.ac.uk to join the mailing list for network events, cpd and linked resources, including webinars linked to the Relationships and Health education curriculum.
