Supporting student mental health and wellbeing is now a core responsibility for schools and boarding communities alike. This webinar explores the current mental health landscape for young people and the flow-on effects for both students and staff.

Hilary Tucker examines how mental health challenges can impact students’ engagement with school life, including increased absenteeism, reduced academic performance and difficulties with connection and motivation. The session also acknowledges the impact on school and boarding staff, with rising workloads, compassion fatigue and burnout increasingly affecting staff wellbeing.

The webinar introduces My Mind Check and its purpose in helping schools move from reactive responses to proactive, preventative support. Hilary explains how the platform gives schools meaningful insight into student wellbeing, directly informed by students themselves, while also providing young people with a safe and structured way to share how they are really feeling.
