Wellbeing Club Helps
Mental Health Leads to…

Support Pupils and Students

Through using techniques and resources that develop an evidence-based, whole school approach to wellbeing, all children and young people learn strategies that support their wellbeing and resilience.

Improve Mental Health

Using the positive psychology strategies, approaches and resources provided helps increase school capacity to reduce mental health problems and support at-risk cohorts of children and young people.

Encourage Consistency

Sharing staff development resources helps create a simple but consistent approach that brings everyone together with a shared understanding of how they can develop whole school wellbeing.

Develop Belonging and Trust

Building a foundation of positive relationships, connection and belonging is essential for the development of staff, pupils, and whole school wellbeing. This is central to our approach and the support we offer inside Wellbeing Club.

Reduce Barriers and Stigma

Developing student and pupil voice-led approaches to reducing mental health stigma in your school enables many more children and young people to access mental health support earlier.

Reduce Staff Stress

A whole school approach to wellbeing benefits teachers and staff as well as pupils. Supporting staff to learn strategies for wellbeing, stress management and reduction, helps them support pupil mental health and wellbeing.

Wellbeing Club Testimonials

Ibstock College Logo

“Since working with Worth-it, staff are more aware of the impact of emotional wellbeing and we are more mindful when dealing with students, this has resulted in pupil improvements in behaviour and positive staff and student relationships.”

Sue Webster, Pastoral Manager, Ibstock Community College

Oakthorpe School Logo

“Embedding a focus on wellbeing is a necessity to all schools and should not be seen as a risk to standards. At Oakthorpe Primary School we have seen children flourish academically by allowing them to flourish emotionally. Our work with Worth-it Projects has helped staff to reflect on how they embed positive psychology across the whole school curriculum and how we can engage parents in understanding the benefits on supporting children’s resilience and wellbeing.”

Keith Ellis, Head Teacher, Oakthorpe Primary

Eyres Monsell School Logo

“We value wellbeing - mental, physical and emotional health and see it as a priority to be invested in and developed. We are now expanding our resilience work to further support staff, as education is a demanding and stressful job and staff need resilience as much as pupils. As leaders, we are more confident to see wellbeing and resilience as something that it important and should be prioritised.”

Kerry Hill, Head Teacher, Eyres Monsell Primary
