SEMH

New SEMH e-learning offer

This e-learning training offer supports existing whole-school approaches to mental health and wellbeing and is therefore not an additional aspect to implement. It is focused on helping you to improve what you already do.

• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) - An Introduction to SEMH - Module 1 | Norfolk Services for Schools: The training modules will provide you with a basic understanding of key theoretical concepts to support your knowledge, confidence, and skills.

• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) - Wellbeing and Resilience - Module 3 | Norfolk Services for Schools: The training modules will provide you with a basic understanding of key theoretical concepts to support your knowledge, confidence, and skills.
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) Social Scaffolding - Module 4 | Norfolk Services for Schools: Social Scaffolding is a relatively new term used to describe how we support each other through our relationships. This applies to everyone within the school community.
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) - Understanding Anxiety, Low Mood, Stress and Trauma - Module 5 | Norfolk Services for Schools: This module will look at the psychology of anxiety, low mood, stress, and trauma, helping us to differentiate so we can better support and understand some of the key signs to look out for. We will also consider some everyday approaches to provide support, building on our previous approaches through the introduction of the PIES model.

• PATHS® New Leads Support Session | Norfolk Services for Schools: This support session will equip new PATHS® Leads to be effective and achieve a measurable impact through their role.
