Forming Connections

“Workplace stress affects hundreds of thousands of UK employees, every year 776,000 workers reported stress, depression, or anxiety in 2023/24, leading to 16.4 million lost working days (HSE 2024). Mindful practices give your team the tools to stay present, improve focus, and manage stress before it takes hold. By learning simple, practical techniques, employees can boost wellbeing, build resilience, and create a calmer, more productive work environment.

Why not treat your staff to an in-house or  online wellbeing session? These sessions combine engaging mindfulness-based activities with practical insights from neuroscience to support a calmer, more focused workplace.

National data from the Department for Education’s School Workforce in England report shows that only around 68% of teachers who qualified five years earlier are still teaching, meaning more than 30% leave the profession within their first five years. By giving new teachers practical tools to support their own wellbeing and that of their pupils, this programme can help more teachers stay in the classroom, build their confidence, and grow a thriving, stable workforce.

This six-week package of online training and support for Initial Teacher Training (ITT) students and Early Career Teachers (ECTs) focused on regulation, wellbeing for both teachers and their classes, and supporting challenging behaviours in the classroom.
This programme uses polyvagal theory and the escalation curve reimagined as a nervous system journey to help teachers track, understand, and influence their own regulation and that of their students. Supporting the journey with strategies and advice.

The package  will also support in early identification of SEND within the classroom, using the graduated response process of assess/plan/do/review, from the SEND  Code of Practice, which is a core element with the package.
