“AMHIE offers the opportunity to learn how to do my job well”

“A place to find information and practical ideas to take forward to my role”

“AMHIE gives me resources and support”

“AMHIE has had a really positive impact on both my professional role as a headteacher and, more importantly, on the well-being of our school community. 

We now have a keen eye for recognising signs of distress among students and staff, allowing us to intervene early and provide the necessary support.

By openly addressing mental health issues and promoting a culture of empathy and understanding, our school has become a safe space where individuals feel comfortable seeking help when they need it, without fear of judgment.

“AMHIE has expanded my skill set and provided me with the confidence to lead effectively in the crucial area of mental health support.

My setting has definitely improved in what we provide for staff, children and parents since training with AMHIE.

The recognition from AMHIE that mental health provision takes time and depends on resources – human and physical – shows a true understanding of the pressures schools face and how we need to be realistic alongside idealistic.
