TEACHERS & SCHOOL STAFF COACHING & SUPPORT SESSIONS
There often comes a point when teachers & school staff can get overwhelmed by the needs of the children they are supporting.
Everything seems to have been tried and tested, but behaviour that is challenging still remains present in the classroom, around school and at home.
The impacts?
Practically - It isn't unusual for the situation to escalate to the point of exclusion.
Emotionally & mentally - You might feel exasperated, helpless and a bit lost for what to do.
This is when the offer of specialist & impartial support can be crucial to support the mental health and wellbeing for staff, children and parents/carers.
Enter - the 1:1 TEACHER SUPPORT SESSION
"By supporting the mental health & wellbeing of the teacher, we are in turn supporting the mental health & wellbeing of the child - socially, emotionally and academically"
These sessions are for teachers, support staff & pastoral leaders.
Imagine feeling reassured, validated and empowered ...if you're dealing with behaviour that is challenging, then this session will give you the confidence & tools you need to support both the child and yourself.
WHO'S IT FOR?
HOW IT WORKS...
You'll feel like you get a LOT from just one session.
During the session, I ask a ton of questions to clarify where I can help you make the biggest shifts in a short space of time, getting to the root of any issues and supporting you with tailored coaching, support, advice, tried-and-tested strategies & recommendations.
The result?
You'll leave the session with the knowledge and confidence you need to create more positive outcomes for all involved.
You'll get a summary report so you are in full control of your next steps.
You'll feel refreshed and have a more positive outlook, with new tools in your belt to support behaviours that are challenging.
