Teachers now have access to tailored, evidence-based CPD on understanding their own emotional health.
As the demands on schools continue to grow and teachers report increasing stress, Togetherness is proud to add new specialised learning to its online pathway library exclusively for teachers.
This bite-sized, online course offers a practical, step-by-step guide to understanding emotional wellbeing, including ideas to help teachers care for themselves and connect more deeply with students and colleagues. Rooted in the trusted Solihull Approach model, the course consists of around three hours of learning time introducing key concepts like containment, emotional understanding and the impact of trauma.
Created by the NHS clinical psychologists behind Togetherness and shaped by teaching staff from across the sector, the course builds on a proven track record of success. Previous programmes have significantly reduced anxiety and boosted confidence among parents and professionals alike. With content covering attachment, brain development, school transitions, and more, Togetherness courses have already impacted the lives of young people, parents and professionals.
“Teachers are invested in the wellbeing of their pupils but often overlook their own emotional health, which is easily done in high-pressure environments such as schools. Our new online CPD can help teachers to look after their own wellbeing through a meaningful, evidence-based approach, proven to make an impact in other high-pressure sectors. Emotional support for teachers is crucial when building a positive school community. By fostering emotionally attuned interactions in the classroom and with colleagues, schools can increase student and parent engagement and support better emotional wellbeing.”
Dr Hazel Douglas, Child Psychologist and Psychotherapist, Director and Founder of Togetherness.
