The Power of Relationships for Wellbeing with Kelly Hannaghan

"What daily, weekly, monthly habits can you put in your diary right now that will keep you doing your job safe and well, and happy?"

Kelly Hannaghan is a Mental Health and Wellbeing Consultant with The Education People and through her business Mind Work Matters.

In this kind and gentle episode, Kelly offers a great opportunity to reflect and consider what your wellbeing needs are, and how to approach them in 2021 as an individual and a school. She shares her thoughts and practical advice on:

• how to develop a whole-school approach for positive mental health and wellbeing for everyone in school
• the steps to ensure the voices of all stakeholders are heard (including staff, pupils, families, the wider community and other agencies)
• creating practical resource hubs to meet the needs of your community
• what to do when parents get caught up in shame or guilt and don't ask for the support they need
• dealing with the dreaded 'imposter syndrome' of feeling not good enough
• building strong foundations for therapeutic and holistic work by building positive and trusting relationship with others
• and much more!

Kelly is an active blogger and writer on Wellbeing and Mental health and has received many awards and acknowledgements for her work in embedding whole-school wellbeing approaches.  Her work has been recognised by the DFE and many other organisations and charities.
