Training and advice for schools | Charlie Waller Trust

Our highly regarded schools programmes provide evidence-based advice, training and support around mental health and wellbeing for pupils, staff, parents and the wider school community. Our work informs, motivates, builds confidence and offers practical ideas and tools for schools that can deliver tangible change.

We offer a holistic 'whole child' and 'whole school' approach to help create an embedded culture of positive mental health and wellbeing, and we offer measurement tools to allow schools to show the impact of their activities.
