Malet Lambert is delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Youth Mental Health First Aid Mark of Excellence from Hull and East Yorkshire MIND.
This means that, as a school, we have the recommended number of staff trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid.
The Youth Mental Health First Aid training helps to boost knowledge and understanding of Mental Health issues as well as increase staff awareness and confidence when working with young people experiencing poor mental health.
Our Pastoral team was offered the training initially as we are a ‘HeadStart’ pilot school. Although we now have a number of staff trained, we will continue to offer the training to others. Several teaching and support staff will undertake the course in a few weeks’ time as part of our partnership with South Hunsley.
Mrs Roberts is looking forward to attending the course, she said, “I am really looking forward to attending the Mental Health First Aid Training. Gaining a better understanding of mental health issues will be extremely beneficial to my role in Learning Support.”
