The hallmark of an open mind is not letting your ideas become your identity.
If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.
If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
The pressure on teachers to “solve” the teen mental health crisis isn’t helpful. Teachers have a vital part to play, but their own well-being must be supported with conversations that are grounded in human connection. Do you know how to ask ‘are you ok?’ #schoolwellbeing
Reframing the pressure on teachers to take on the mental health of everyone around them.
We are all in this together, personally accountable and socially responsible for mental health.
Ready to rethink how your school talk about mental wellbeing?

Yesterday I signed up to be one of 20 @PJFoundation mentors to support a young entrepreneur in the coming year. An amazing opportunity to give back, and to keep learning. Thank you @Goal17Global@FranBGlobal for making it happen! #mentoring
The office days are looking a little different these days, but I am thoroughly enjoying getting my brain out of the fog and into some mentoring planning. #mentoring#peermentoring#teenwellbeing
An eloquently written letter from a @CanfordSchool pupil. Teens need one another to open up to - not just adults - and this vital stage in their development is being missed due to lockdown restrictions. Once again, #teenmentalwellbeing is the price we pay. https://t.co/sdBHYGR3Sd
Of the four mentoring tools we teach, The Honest Step can be the hardest to wrap your head around. Exploring the depths of how someone is struggling can feel intrusive and uncomfortable, but as the Mentors at @WycliffeCollege discovered, it is a vital step for our mentees.
@WycliffeCollege pupils have been undertaking the inspiring This Is Me Pupil Mentoring Training Programme. The first sessions have provided our pupils mentor team some insightful tools to help them become skilled peer pupil mentors. @ThisIsMeWbeing #peermentoring#schoolwellbeing
This week I was bowled over once again by the kind, insightful pupils I have the pleasure of spending my time with, as Wycliffe College commence their Pupil Mentoring Training Programme with This Is Me.

Young people have the desire to speak about their mental wellbeing and support one another, they often simply don’t know where to start or have the opportunity to dig deeper. At Wycliffe, we're about to get really comfortable with the deep and meaningfuls.
