Who can be a pathfinder partner?
SEND Schools.
We are looking for both special educational needs schools to join our existing partner network. The number of pupils suffering with mental illness is rising, and we want to work with schools who have a focus on supporting the needs of their pupils in relation to their mental health and wellbeing.
Adolscent Mental Health Specialists.
Do you work with young people to manage their mental health in a clinical or support role? We are looking to for specialists who focus on adolescent mental health to partner with us on our journey to helping young people with their mental health and wellbeing.
Secondary and Further Education Schools
With a rising population of pupils in our mainstream school environment who are suffering with mental illness, we are looking to partner with forward thinking schools who are focused on supporting the wellbeing of their pupils and are working towards building processes that look beyond difficult behaviours.
