Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) is an increasingly important aspect of education, with a significant impact on students’ well-being and academic success. However, integrating SEMH into the fabric of a school’s culture can be a challenging task. This webinar, led by Heather Lucas, an experienced SEMH Support Specialist, will provide a practical, actionable approach to embedding SEMH into the daily life of your school.

Heather Lucas brings a wealth of experience and expertise in SEMH, having worked with a wide range of schools to improve their mental health provision. Her pragmatic approach is grounded in real-world experience, ensuring that the strategies and insights shared are both effective and implementable, regardless of the unique challenges faced by your school.
What will you hear about?
During the webinar, Heather will explore the essential components of an SEMH-inclusive culture, offering guidance on how to assess your current school environment and identify areas for improvement. She will discuss the critical role of leadership in modelling and promoting SEMH values, as well as how to engage staff, students, and parents in this cultural shift.
The session will also cover practical steps for developing and sustaining an SEMH culture, including policy development, staff training, and the integration of SEMH practices into the curriculum. Heather will share case studies and examples of successful SEMH initiatives, providing inspiration and insight into what works in different school settings.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage with Heather through a Q&A session, where you can seek advice on specific challenges or scenarios relevant to your school. This interactive element ensures that the webinar is tailored to the needs and concerns of those attending, offering personalised support and guidance.
