AMHIE offers support, guidance, training, networking and more to anyone involved in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of learners, colleagues and their community. Our history:
As a result of the green paper “Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision” the government committed to providing trained mental health leads in schools. With the announcement of the mental hea

lth lead role from the Department of Education, Richard developed training for mental health leads. This in turn lead to the creation of the National Network of Mental Health Leads in 2021. As the DfE’s programme of mental health lead training progressed, reflecting the needs of the sector the Committee members of the National Network of Mental Health Leads recognised the need to open membership up to a wider cohort of members. Therefore, the Association of Mental Health in Education was formally launched in 2024, representing those working in schools, colleges, universities, adult education and early years providers and giving them much needed support and guidance. How we help:
• Know you are doing things right
• Stay up to date with expectations
• Feel supported
• Have somewhere to turn to for advice
• Remove some of the stress and burden
• Reduce your role isolation

Friday Thought 💭

The conversation around mental health in education is more important than ever.

What support should the DfE be offering to educators?

"Intervention for YP who cannot attend school, support in school, improve training and awareness in schools, modernisation of school life and environments to meet the needs of more young people."

"MH should be part of the teacher training process and understanding MH should be a teacher standard"

"Reduce the pressure of the job by improving social services and education support services services e.g. ed psych/speech and language services and to make parents accountable."

Some personal news: April is my final month with the AMHIE team. 🕊️

Since 2021, I’ve had the joy of supporting this incredible community. You’ve taught me so much about resilience and heart. While I’m heading off to a new adventure, don’t worry—AMHIE isn't going anywhere! Richard is finding someone wonderful to continue the support and resources you know and love.

Thank you for the memories, the hard work, and the growth. It’s been a pleasure!

Best,

Lily Blakeledge

So what does belonging mean in context, is it something that we can measure or something that is felt?

Mohammad Umaid of the Al-Fateh Institute of Health Sciences explores his perception of belonging, what it means to him and contextually what we consider to be belonging in an educational setting.

A heart felt and nuanced exploration into his own experiences, this guest feature for AMHIE is a wonderful piece and we're delighted to feature it as you all return to the classroom.

"As belonging becomes increasingly visible in education policy conversations worldwide, the challenge before us is clear:

We must move from naming belonging to designing belonging."
