First of all, the Future in Mind Steering Group would like to invite you to complete the 2020/21 School Survey on Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing, so that they can ensure they continue to work to meeting your needs. Please complete the 2020/21 School Survey by accessing this link.
NO MORE Suicide
The NO MORE Suicide website has been launched for Cheshire and Merseyside. It is a resource for both local partners and community organisations, as well as members of the public who may be seeking information or support.
It offers clear and immediate support options to those who may be suffering with thoughts of suicide or people who think they know someone else who is struggling. It is hoped that the website will also be a preventative resource.
Additionally, the NO MORE Suicide website will be a useful resource for anyone who has been bereaved by suicide. To access the site please click here.

Wellbeing for Education Return
The Wellbeing for Education Return team (across DfE, DHSC, PHE, HEE and NHSE) and national providers (MindEd and the Anna Freud Centre National Centre for Children and Families) have developed the resources for education staff who don’t have access to locally adapted training and support.
They are intended to complement existing local offers and build on feedback from local authority areas and education staff on their experiences of the Wellbeing for Education Return programme so far.
The resource includes a short, pre-recorded webinar, ‘Every interaction matters,’ focusing on wellbeing, resilience and the ‘look, listen, link’ framework (covered in the original WER content and derived from Psychological First Aid e-learning) as well as a document signposting resources which support education staff wellbeing. They can be accessed here.
