I am delighted to be involved in a Mentally Healthy Schools Rapid Pilot being rolled out across Greater Manchester – one of vital importance, as it is improving things for students and staff alike.
This project is seeing primary and secondary school children and young people across the North West of England receive training to become Young Mental Health Champions, while their teachers receive Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training and leadership training about wellbeing. It is part of a £134 million action plan to help transform mental health in Greater Manchester.
Because of the opportunities of devolution we do things differently in Manchester and this is the start of a mental health revolution. It is the most creative and innovative cross-sector campaign in the country, which we hope will eventually be rolled out nationwide.
