Published 14/08/2025.  Last updated 14/08/2025

Place2Be has designed this CPD-certified Senior Mental Health Leads (SMHL) programme to support you in developing a whole school approach to mental health.

The 12-week programme will support you in identifying your school’s priorities and developing strategic approaches to address those needs. You'll develop your leadership skills with positive mental health and build a network, sharing best practices with peers from other schools.

To be successful in the programme, you'll want to prioritise this part of your role. You'll need to draw on other school community members to make promoting positive mental health part of the embedded culture of your setting.

Our SMHL training programme is for any member of staff who wishes to take a leading role in shaping their school's mental health and wellbeing strategy at primary and high schools. You'll need the support of your Senior Leadership Team to fulfil the programme's requirements.

The 12-week programme incorporates:

  • 4 facilitated modules within our online learning environment
  • 4 online live interactive group sessions
  • 2 individual consultations bespoke to you and your school
  • Optional: 2 small group reflective sessions
