Completely agree. @WiltsCreative we have Mental Health First Aiders on the staff team across departments amongst other wellbeing initiatives. @WellCitySals ensures those involved are trained. We'd love to see school staff and young people have access to this vital training.
Dr Alex George is calling for all schools, universities and workplaces to employ someone with mental health first-aid training.
A survey of teachers by @YoungMindsUK found that 78 % say pupils' #MentalHealth has worsened since they started teaching. ⤵️
