We're absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news with you today – Mental Health in Education (MHIE) has officially launched! This marks a significant milestone in our journey at Mental Health in Business as we expand our commitment to creating mentally healthy environments where everyone can truly thrive.
Why Mental Health in Education?
The challenges facing our education sector have never been more complex. Teachers are navigating increasing pressures, pupils are growing up in an ever-changing world, and support teams are often stretched to their limits. We've witnessed firsthand how the events of recent years have highlighted the vital role schools play in nurturing not just academic achievement but also emotional resilience and positive mental health.
That's exactly why we've created Mental Health in Education – a dedicated division focused entirely on supporting mental health and well-being throughout the education sector, to build on the great work we are already doing in schools through MHIB.
Our Whole-School Approach
At MHIE, we believe that lasting change happens when the entire school community is equipped, empowered, and engaged in creating a mentally healthy culture. We're not just talking about one-off training sessions – we're talking about a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that supports everyone from classroom teachers and pastoral leads to senior leadership teams.
Our programmes are specifically tailored for the education sector and underpinned by the latest research and guidance. Whether you're looking to:
- Embed a whole-school approach to mental health
- Upskill your team in Youth Mental Health First Aid
- Provide targeted support around resilience and stress management
- Implement suicide intervention training
We can work with you to create a package that meets your unique needs and helps build a culture where mental health is openly discussed, stigma is reduced, and every member of your school community feels valued, supported, and able to flourish.

A Personal Touch That Makes the Difference
What sets MHIE apart is our deeply personal understanding of mental health challenges. Our founder, Claire Russell, brings over 20 years of corporate leadership experience alongside her own powerful personal story. As a passionate advocate for breaking mental health stigma and reducing suicide rates, Claire's work is shaped by lived experience – including her own mental health challenges and the heartbreaking loss of her partner to suicide.
This authentic, compassionate approach runs through everything we do. We're not just trainers – we're people who truly understand the importance of this work and the real difference it can make.
