Creating a Therapeutic Classroom Environment has never been more important. With an estimated 20%* of children experiencing Mental Health difficulties in 2023 alone, making sure that your classrooms are supporting their needs is crucial. In these sessions we look at the physical environment and the framework you are providing that will enable good mental health to flourish. But, at school a child’s greatest asset is their teacher. We focus on what it is that allows teachers to support good mental health for all students and give practical tools to take away and use straightaway.

It is estimated that 15-20%* of children in the UK are Neurodiverse. Supporting these children is critical to good mental health and academic progress. In these sessions we take the premise that we ‘teach high and scaffold low’ which ensures that everyone’s needs are met. Many children with Neurodiverse profiles will present differently to their Neurotypical peers and are at far greater risk of under-achieving academically. The associated impact on self-esteem is significant, so it’s easy to see why supporting these learners is so important. The session aims to give teachers a toolkit to take away and use the next day.
