Mental health and wellbeing guides for FE staff and leaders

Created in partnership with Education & Training Foundation

These guides provide practical mental health and wellbeing advice and information for further education staff and leaders.

They will help you support yourselves and your colleagues to cope with the demands of the job.

You will gain a deeper understanding of what makes a work environment psychologically safe, alongside evidence-informed initiatives and insights from those working in further education.
