Your teachers or school staff are struggling to cope with stress.
The demands of working in a high pressure educational environment is negatively impacting staff performance.
Pressure and stress are impacting on staff's ability to work effectively with others including pupils or students.
Your staff are finding it a challenge to manage or maintain work/life balance.
You have high levels of stress-related staff absence or sickness.
Poor staff wellbeing is having an impact on performance, teaching and learning.
This positive staff wellbeing programme takes a proactive approach to addressing stress within teaching and school staff. Staff will develop a clear understanding of wellbeing and how to build it in themselves and as a team.
Staff take part in a group coaching programme that covers strategies to help prevent burnout, improve work-life balance and build positive peer support, empowering your school staff team to build resilience. This supports staff to be able to cope with the demands of teaching or working in the school environment, even during times of change and uncertainty.
Through learning from the field of positive psychology coaching and work psychology, the training allows participants to experience and practise wellbeing interventions that can be applied personally, within a staff team or across a school community.
The Staff Wellbeing Pathway provides practical group coaching and wellbeing tools that staff can try out as a team. The Pathway supports your staff to build positive relationships that provide the foundation of wellbeing and help staff teams get through challenging times by coming together rather than pulling apart.
Through using techniques and strategies proven to build wellbeing, staff will discover and develop an understanding of personal wellbeing and how to build it. These can be taken forward as a team.
Using the occupational, positive psychology and coaching strategies, enable your team to build awareness of stressors and how to reduce their impact and increase wellbeing.
Sharing as a team is the first step to building positive relationships that help manage stress and develop wellbeing. Our programme facilitates conversations that support staff to build wellbeing resources.
Building a foundation of positive relationships, connection and belonging essential for the development of staff, and whole school wellbeing is central to our approach and the support we provide in this programme.
The development of wellbeing strategies and resources shared in this programme help contribute to the reduction of staff burnout and improve work life balance.
Encouraging staff to build wellbeing habits and increase personal responsibility for taking care of their own wellbeing is developed through this programme, and is encouraged beyond the duration of the programme.
Worth-it have been working with schools for over a decade, supporting them to develop staff and whole school wellbeing. We have trained over 4000 school staff in hundreds of schools nationally. We believe in putting staff wellbeing at the heart of any whole school approach to wellbeing and mental health for pupils.
We are passionate about increasing sustainable and embedded capacity for school staff to maintain wellbeing levels, enabling staff to support pupil wellbeing and achievement more effectively. Find out how The Staff Wellbeing Pathway meets our organisational values...
We believe in providing resources and programmes that create a real and sustainable change. As part of the Staff Wellbeing Pathway we coach your team through several practical positive psychology activities that enable you to support your staff to develop individual and team wellbeing strategies.
Our Staff Wellbeing Pathway has been developed by a team of positive psychologists, work psychologists and wellbeing coaches utilising up-to-date research and applied practice. The progamme will build your awareness of how to support school staff develop personal and collective wellbeing.
The Staff Wellbeing Pathway has evolved from six years of extensive partnership work with schools, teachers, school staff and leaders. We use a coaching approach during our programme to ensure staff collaborate and build positive relationships necessary for wellbeing.
Most importantly, the Staff Wellbeing Programme has been developed with and for school staff, teachers, TAs and school leaders, giving them confidence to develop personal wellbeing strategies to support themselves, each other and team wellbeing.
The design of the programme utilises group coaching: this has been proven to be the most effective form of CPD for wellbeing and performance.
Sharing ideas and advice with others, as a team, builds the foundation of positive relationships necessary to develop staff wellbeing.
Wellbeing isn’t a one size fits all approach. The wellbeing pathway supports staff to identify their own personalised strategies for wellbeing.
The Staff Wellbeing Pathway explicitly covers strategies for stress awareness and management, which build staff’s bank of wellbeing resources.
Staff Wellbeing is integral to a whole school approach. Good staff wellbeing increases schools’ capacity to support children and young people’s wellbeing and mental health more effectively.
Developing trust as a team and the ability to have difficult conversations about wellbeing and stress is significant to any approach to supporting staff wellbeing.
Our whole school system for positive mental health offers a step-by-step process, enabling you to audit, plan and take action in developing your whole school approach. This has been developed from positive psychology, organisational psychology, and practical experience of working with schools for 12 years. Wellbeing is facilitated through interactions and connections – this is why our system framework places staff wellbeing at the centre of the whole school approach.
By supporting staff wellbeing you are increasing your school’s capacity to support pupil and student wellbeing.
Positive education is the science of wellbeing applied in educational settings.
Worth-it are a leading provider of Positive Education in the UK. We base all our programmes on the SEARCH Pathways to Wellbeing (Waters and Loton 2019). SEARCH provides a proven and evidence-based framework that supports schools to plan, implement, develop and embed sustainable approaches to developing whole school wellbeing.
Like our programmes for children and young people, the Staff Wellbeing Programme is also based on the SEARCH framework, contributing to a shared framework for developing staff and pupil wellbeing across the school setting.
Coaching psychology is the evidence-based approach to using coaching to improve wellbeing, performance, and success. Coaching has been proven to be the most effective leadership and development tool within the education sector.
Coaching has been demonstrated by many psychology researchers to be the most effective form of CPD for the development of staff wellbeing, stress management and performance.

Supporting your team to maintain levels of wellbeing during challenging times and constant change can be difficult. Poor staff wellbeing can result in performance issues, staff absence and negatively impact on children’s learning, achievement, and wellbeing. Staff need to feel able to take responsibility for their own wellbeing while also feeling supported by their school or school leaders.
The Staff Wellbeing Pathway programme provides an opportunity to support your team to develop evidence-based wellbeing strategies that they can apply individually or as a team.
Schools or settings that want to:
Support staff wellbeing and make an commitment as a school to be able to do this.
Make wellbeing part of the way they support staff and teachers.
Embed wellbeing into their whole school ethos.
Enable staff to improve their own levels of wellbeing to increase capacity to support pupils with theirs.
Schools or settings that:
Are looking for a quick fix.
Do not have a supportive leadership team who are willing to make staff wellbeing part of their school ethos.
Expect one person to develop whole school wellbeing on their own, without providing any time or support for them to be able to it.
Blame individuals for not being resilient enough to cope.
See staff wellbeing as a tick box or an add-on they need to be seen to be doing.
